Hi, On my FreeBSD 4.3 machine, I try to understand the STATE column. The 'man top' says somewhere: [...] STATE is the current state (one of "sleep", "WAIT", "run", "idl", "zomb", or "stop") [...] However, this does not at all match with the actual states in the STATE column of the 'top' command: RUN, select, mfsidl, nanslp, piperd, wait, ttyin, poll Apparently the man pages of the 'top' command are not synchronized with the actual command. How can I find out what the STATE items mean? For example: top says that I have one zombie process, but I can't find out in the STATE column which process is zombie. Any help appreciated! Thanks, Rob. PS: please send a reply also to me personally, since I am not member of the FreeBSD question mailing list.
