Description

Reserved commands, used by the Cascade NameServer (nserve) to indicate that a registered process has started or died.

taskstarted is used by the driver to detect that a datahub in the correct domain has started, and to re-register all points with an active exception-flag.

taskdied is used by the driver to detect that a datahub in its domain has died, but takes no further action.
