RUN and CPU1 are easy enough > to figure out, but most of the rest are mysterious. The states are scattered throughout the kernel: sys/kern/kern_time.c: error = tsleep(&nanowait, PWAIT | PCATCH, "nanslp", src/sys/kern/tty.c: "ttyin" : "ttyhup", sys/kern/sys_pipe.c: "piperd", 0)) == 0) ...for a few common states (nanslp, ttyin, piperd). Use a command like: find /usr/src/sys | xargs grep piperd ...and replace piperd with whatever state it is that you are curious about. -- -Chuck
