| <i>Ps</i> prints information about processes. <i>Psu</i> prints only information |
| about processes started by <i>user</i> (default <tt><font size=+1>$USER</font></tt>). |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| For each process reported, the user, process id, user time, system |
| time, size, state, and command name are printed. State is one |
| of the following:<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Moribund</font></tt> Process has exited and is about to have its resources |
| reclaimed.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Ready</font></tt> on the queue of processes ready to be run.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Scheding</font></tt> about to be run.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Running</font></tt> running.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Queueing</font></tt> waiting on a queue for a resource.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Wakeme</font></tt> waiting for I/O or some other kernel event to wake it up.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Broken</font></tt> dead of unnatural causes; lingering so that it can be examined.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Stopped</font></tt> stopped.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Stopwait</font></tt> waiting for another process to stop.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Fault</font></tt> servicing a page fault.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Idle</font></tt> waiting for something to do (kernel processes only).<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>New</font></tt> being created.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>Pageout</font></tt> paging out some other process.<br> |
| <i>Syscall</i> performing the named system call.<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>no</font></tt> <i>resource</i> waiting for more of a critical <i>resource</i>.<br> |
| <i>wchan</i> waiting on the named wait channel (on a Unix kernel). |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| With the <tt><font size=+1>−p</font></tt> flag, <i>ps</i> also prints, after the system time, the baseline |
| and current priorities of each process. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| The <tt><font size=+1>−a</font></tt> flag causes <i>ps</i> to print the arguments for the process. |
| Newlines in arguments will be translated to spaces for display.<br> |
