Hi,

S is for Sleeping
T is for sTopped
(full list in ps(1))

If you want more details you can try:
- tusc for the current syscall
- pstack/gdb for the process stack.

Hi:

> Now tell me whether S means stopped or sleeping

You need to learn to consult the manpages. You might be surprised by the amount of information that's there.

in addition like other said already;

S means; State of the process (running,sleeping, stopped, etc.).

R : Running
S : Sleeping ..

Pavan,

1) ps -ef > psout.txt.
more or vi psout.txt to search required processes name

2) # ps -ef |more

3) man ps <-- this will definately help you

4) If you are running HPUX then try glance and follow the screen

Hi,

To get detail you need glance.
You can install it for a trial period no charge.

The best tool would be ps using the XPG4 behavior.
e.g.

UNIX95= ps -e -o comm,stime,vsz,pcpu

Man ps for details.
