9.1;dspst (display_process_status), revision 9.1, 85/02/14
DSPST (DISPLAY_PROCESS_STATUS) -- Display process status graphically.
usage:  DSPST [-R n] [-P] [-L1] [-OS] [-M] [-IO] [-A] [-N] [-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

      880 keyboard only:

         Boxed up arrow        Scroll forward 1/2 window
         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
         SAVE                  Exit and save current image


OPTIONS

  Default options are indicated by "(D)."

  -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.

  -P                 Show process info.

  -L1                Show OS and user process info.

  -OS          (D)   Show brief OS and full user process info.

  -M                 Show missing cpu time in addition.

  -IO          (D)   Show I/O statistics.

  -A                 Show all information (same as -L1 -IO -M).

  -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.

  -LARGE             Force use of large font for display.

  -SMALL       (D)   Force use of small font for display.


EXAMPLES

  $ dspst                       Display OS, user process, and I/O status.

  $ dspst -n //fred -large      Display OS, user process, and I/O status for
                                the node named //fred using the large font.
