pst (process_status) -- List process internal state information.
usage: pst [-r seconds] [-n node_spec] [-un] [-pa] [-c] [-ty]
DESCRIPTION
pst lists internal state information for all processes in the system by
name or UID.
OPTIONS
-r[epeat] 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 first example below.
-n[ode] node_spec
Specify remote node whose process statistics are to be
listed. See help node_spec for details about node
specification syntax.
-un Display Domain/OS process IDs.
-pa[ging] Display process-paging information. The paging data
presented is executable faults, data I/O faults, disk-
paging I/O, and network-paging I/O.
-c Display only brief information on level 2 (user)
processes. This output also suppresses the header lines
and the processor time total.
-ty[pe] Show whether each process is a user process (stops at
logout), a server process (started via -cps), or an Aegis
process (internal to the operating system).

A "Zombie" is a process that has died, but for which the parent hasn't
yet waited (by UNIX wait() or pgm_$proc_wait).
