hung unix process

Dear Sirs,

What is the command to identify hung unix process ?

Thanks,
Shiv

hi,

do u equate hung with zombie (defunct) state? if so, u may use this:

# ps -ef|grep -i defunct

man ps for more info.

regards.

or you can use this to search zombies:

ps -edalf |grep " Z "

Shiv,

ps -ef|grep -i defunct
or
ps -eaf|grep " Z "

will show you zombie procs

Good Luck,

Hi Shiv

top command will give no of zombie processes.

ps -ef |grep "Z" will provide their PID

A process that has exited and has a parent, but has not yet been waited for by the parent, is marked .

Collect as,

$ ps -ef | grep ''

We can not get process state of Z (zobie) with -f option with ps. You have to use -l or -fl with -e option.

$ ps -el | grep 'Z'

hth.
