Hi,

Where can I find out what the various process states like: nanslp,
poll, accept, and my favorite: piperd mean? I found this:

http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=4752744&list=151

which mentions that top is showing the sleep/wait channel.
What is a wait channel, and what differentiates one from the other?

Thanks alot,
Bill
