RE: LDFX02 task - what is it?

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

They're not really trying to hide anything - the TASKS don't show up on
WRKACTJOB like JOBS do - you can only see them via performance tools
like WRKSYSACT.  This type of thing goes back a long way.  Recall on a
S/36 that a D U would show only jobs.  You needed to run a D T from the
console to see the tasks.

        Aha!  Sounds like IBM just trying to hide something!  Now I can
start naming my
        resource hogging jobs LDFX01...
