Introduction
The RS/360 Remote System is network
application software that creates and manages remote process, it consolidate
all remote machines with its processes that are connected on a heterogeneous
network environment and put all the control on the central control center (The
Controller). The RS/360
can create or execute remote application from different machine
connected on a network.
The RS/360 also manage its own created application whether the
application is still running
or not, it can even terminate the running application, query all
running application real time.
These entire features are available on one main central control
station. Basically the
RS/360 system does is to cluster multiple computer into one system.
The RS/360 Consist of two parts,
namely The Controller and Process Server. The Process Server resides on
the remote computer running as a background process, it is waiting for the Controller
to make service request. The Controller is the main control center, its
main function is to send command for the Process Server to execute and tracks
all the machine it is connected to. Each command the Controller made to a specific
Process Server is replied with confirmation and status from the specified Process
Server. The Process Server's main function
is to create process as requested
by the Controller, tracks and maintain all these process and provide the Controller
a control to this processes. The Process Server can maintain and manage
only those processes that are created by the Process Server itself, it has no
direct control over the Operating System's processes.

No Unix version for the Controller
as of this release.
The RS/360 System is composed
of the Process Server main executable program, the Controller's ActiveX control(OCX)
