A recent post caught my attention about a Java program being run from from a UNIX shell "getting tired" after the first execution. TSO is set up so that each TSO transaction is known to WLM, so that it "resets" to first period. Does anybody know if the UNIX shell does the same? If not, doesn't that indicate that the more you do in a UNIX shell, accumulating service, the futher down your "periods" you go and likely response "get worse". Just like batch. But if you make UNIX higher priority or only have a single period, then batch UNIX will likewise fail to "degrade" in performance as it accumulates service. That that last statement true or false?
In my opinion, IBM should consider that UNIX work is not all identical. And we need some way to have multiple types of UNIX work. Such as invoked from BATCH, invoked from TSO, invoked from an interactive shell (telnet, rsh, ssh, etc).
