Using the show processes CLI Command
Use the show processes command to identify the processes that are running and the status of each
process. (See Example B-3.) The command output includes:
• PID = process ID.
• State = process state.
• PC = current program counter in hex format.
• Start_cnt = how many times a process has been started (or restarted).
• TTY = terminal that controls the process. A “-” usually means a daemon not running on any
particular TTY.
• Process = name of the process.
Process states are:
• D = uninterruptible sleep (usually I/O).
• R = runnable (on run queue).
• S = sleeping.
• T = traced or stopped.
• Z = defunct (“zombie”) process.
• NR = not-running.
• ER = should be running but currently not-running.
