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).

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