In the last episode (Sep 04), Shrikant said: > When i do "TOP" i see many process in raltime ,I would like to know > the description of different "STATE"'s in the "STATE" column. Where > will i get this info .PLs give me a link . The state column shows RUN for running processes, and for sleeping processes, it shows the sleep string (or mutex name if there's an * in front). There is no official table of them since there are so many (and they are dynamic; a kernel module may add more). "find /sys -type f | xargs grep msleep" will print most of the sleep strings, and "find /sys -type f | xargs grep mtx_init" should print the mutex names. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
