10.0;dspst (display_process_status), revision 1.0, 88/01/21
DSPST (DISPLAY_PROCESS_STATUS) -- Display process status graphically.
usage:  dspst [-r n] [-p] [-L1] [-os] [-m] [-io] [-a] [-n node_spec]
                                        [-large|-small] {cl}


FORMAT

  dspst [options]


  dspst displays process statistics in a graphical, bar-chart fashion within the
  current process window.  The chart is updated  periodically  (see  -r  below).
  The  default  action  of this command is to display the brief os process list,
  all user processes and all  i/o  information  in  a  font  size  automatically
  selected based on window size.

  While dspst is running, the following keys are interpreted as follows:

      All keyboards:

         ^T                    Move to top
         ^B                    Move to bottom
         RETURN                Exit
         ^N                    Exit
         ^Y                    Exit and save current image

         Boxed down arrow      Scroll backward 1/2 window
         F2                    Scroll backward 1 line
         F3                    Scroll forward 1 line

      Low-profile keyboard only:

         Boxed up arrow        Scroll backward 1/2 window
         Boxed down arrow      Scroll forward 1/2 window
         Shifted up arrow      Scroll backward 1 line
         Shifted down arrow    Scroll forward 1 line
         EXIT or ABORT         Exit

  -r n               Specify that the display should be repeatedly updated every
                     'n' seconds.  If this option is  omitted,  the  display  is
                     updated every 4 seconds.

  -a                 Show all information (same as -l1 -io -m).

  -n node_spec        Specify  remote  node  whose  process statistics are to be
                     listed.     See  help  node_spec  for  details  about  node
                     specification syntax.

  -large       (D)   Force use of large font for display.
