Abstract: Method for automatically deriving a command for starting a program in operating system 102 (OS, for example z/OS) comprising: identifying an address space 108 (for example, virtual address space); identifying a program in said space; searching data 110 logged by OS to identify a start command for initiating processing of said program; outputting said start command. Searching is performed for user-started programs and omitted for batch programs. The logged data are in job control language (JCL) and comprise processing messages. Parameters corresponding to the start command are also identified and outputted. Processing of said program is managed by job entry subsystem 107 (JES). The invention enables a user to identify an address space and stop and restart the relevant program, process, procedure or job. Relevant start command can be identified if an address-space needs to be cloned, mirrored, replicated or to enable a running program to be maintained with updates.
