Windows-Mode STATUS Messages

The Executive displays a Windows-mode STATUS message box when it detects conditions within a process (generally, an application) that you should know about. STATUS messages can be divided into three types:

• System-information messages. All you can do is read the information in the message box and choose the OK button. The Kernel will continue running the process or thread.
• Warning messages. Some advise you to take an action that will enable the Kernel to keep running the process or thread. Others warn you that, although the process or thread will continue running, the results may not be correct.
• Application-termination messages. These warn you that the Kernel is about to terminate either a process or a thread.
