PST (PROCESS_STATUS) -- List process internal state information.
usage: PST [-R seconds] [-N node_spec] [-UN] [-PA] [-C] [-TY]
FORMAT
PST [options]
PST lists internal state information for all processes in the system by name
or UID.
OPTIONS
-R[EPEAT] 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 first example below.
-N[ODE] node_spec
Specify remote node whose process statistics are to be
listed. See HELP NODE_SPEC for details about node
specification syntax.
-UN Display DOMAIN/IX process IDs.
-PA[GING] Display process paging information. The paging data
presented is private page faults, global page faults, disk
paging I/O, and network paging I/O.
-C Display only brief information on level 2 (user) processes.
This output also suppresses the header lines and the
processor time total. See Example 5 below.
-TY[PE] Shows whether each process is a USER process (stops at
logout), a SERVER process (started via -CPS), or an AEGIS
process (internal to the operating system).
