PST (PROCESS_STATUS) -- List process internal state information.
usage:  PST [-R seconds | -N node] [-UN]


FORMAT

  PST [options]

  PST lists internal state information for all processes in the system
  by name or UID.


OPTIONS

  -R 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 example below.

  - N node-spec    Specify remote node whose process stats are to be listed.
                   Node-spec may be the target node's hexadecimal node ID,
                   or the entry name of any volume on that node.

  -UN              Display AUX process IDs.  AUX is the DOMAIN software
                   environment based on Bell Labs' UNIX (*) System III.


  -PA              Display process paging information.  The paging data
                   presented is private page faults, global page faults,
                   disk paging io, and network paging io.
