Hello Chris,

The pre-start jobs are something I've never looked into, and I'm still hoping you would share those APIs with us.

I did some research and indeed information on the topic seems vague and rare.

Some insightful comments can be found here:

Especially the remarks about the spawn() API. From what I've read, I guess "PJ" is just a flag for a given application program, being configured in an SBSD. If you use spawn() "the right way", the OS does not start a fresh job "from zero" but makes an already (pre-activated) PJ run.

It's not entirely clear to me
- how to properly send a PJ back to "PJ state" when work is done. Perhaps this is done automatically by the OS when exiting the main() function with return().
- If and how the OS (de|in)creases the PJ count to match the given workload. It's not clear if this automatic adjustment happens only when work enters through a communications entry in the SBSD.

Another source of some insight:

:wq! PoC
