Have fun with it- Monty Walls. -------------------------Cut Here-------------------------------------------- NAME ps - process status SYNOPSIS ps [-alx ] DESCRIPTION PS prints information about active processes. It does so by examining kernel, mm, and fs address spaces. The 'a' option asks for information about all processes with terminals (normally only ones own processes are displayed); 'x' displays processes even without terminals; 'l' asks for the long listing. The normal short listing contains the PID, TTY, TIME, and the CMD. The long listing contains: F - 01: in use; 02: waiting; 04: hanging; 10: paused; 20: alarm on; 40: seperate I & D spaces. S - s - suspended, r - running (process FS status) UID - owners uid PID - process id PPID - parents process id ADDR - core address(in hex) SZ - size of code+data+stack(in hex) WCHAN - the pid or name of the process its waiting on TTY - owning tty TIME - system & user time in seconds for the process CMD - command name of process FILES /dev/mem core memory /etc/maint.info kernel, fs, and mm maintence info PORTABILITY Heavily dependent on the basic structure of minix on 8088.
