ps -ef |grep mon

[ernest tamura]

After loading 11.0 on a k370 server and visualize 3000 workstation I did a ps -ef |grep mon. There are several processes running. Where can I get documentation on these processes and do they create logs?

A large fraction of these is related to the Support Tools Manager. Man stm for details. A number of these (e.g.) psmond have their own man pages.

A good place to start is probably the STM tutorial page ..
