Resolution

FACTOTUM tasks are internal tasks used for interactive terminals that perform work for RHDCMSTR,
the system task that manages terminal I/O. The most common functions for FACTOTUM tasks are
things such as writing the ENTER-NEXT-TASK-CODE message, writing abend code of previous task, or
cleaning up Lterm resources when a user signs off or is forced to sign off due to RESOURCE TIMEOUT.
To get a list of the functions performed by FACTOTUMs see the #LTEDS DSECT, at the end there is a
list of LTEFACCD request codes.
