Windows-Mode STATUS Messages

The Executive displays a Windows-mode STATUS message box when it detects conditions within a process (such as an application) that you need to 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 click OK. The Kernel continues to run the process or thread.

• Warning messages. Some advise you to take an action that enables the Kernel to keep running the process or thread. Others warn you that, although the process or thread continues to run, the results might not be correct.

• Application-termination messages. These warn you that the Kernel is about to terminate either a process or a thread.
