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.
