7.0;pst (process_status), revision 7.0, 83/09/24
PST (PROCESS_STATUS) -- List process internal state information.
usage:  PST [-R seconds | -N node] [-UN]


FORMAT

  PST [options]


  PST  lists  internal state information for all processes in the system by name
  or UID.


OPTIONS

  -R n               Repeat every n seconds.  If you include  this  option,  the
                     first  pass  displays  the total time elapsed since process
                     creation.   Subsequent  passes  display  changes  from  the
                     previous pass, as shown in the example below.

  -N node-spec        Specify  remote node whose process stats are to be listed.
                     Node-spec may be the target node's hexadecimal node ID,  or
                     the entry name of any volume on that node.

  -UN                 Display  AUX  process  IDs.    AUX  is the DOMAIN software
                     environment based on Bell Labs' UNIX (*) System III.

  -PA                Display  process  paging  information.    The  paging  data
                     presented  is private page faults, global page faults, disk
                     paging io, and network paging io.
