Process Management window: Device Services page

This topic describes the Process Management window: Device Services page in IBM Director.

Introduction

Use this page to view, start, stop, pause, and resume device services on managed systems running Windows. Device services are the noninteractive programs that allow high-level applications to perform various functions (for example, I/O drivers running on a system serve as support programs for application suites that perform word-processing, database, and print functions). Each row of information represents a service.
