NAME
ps - Displays current process status
SYNOPSIS
Syntax conforming to XCU5.0
ps [-aAdejflm] [-o specifier] [=header] ,... [-O specifier] [=header] ,...
[-g glist] [-G glist] [-p plist] [-s slist] [-t tlist] [-u ulist] [-U
ulist] [-n nlist]
BSD Compatible Syntax
ps [aAeghjlLmsSTuvwx] [o specifier] [=header] ,... [O specifier] [=header]
,... [t tty] [process_number]
The ps command displays the current process status.
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards
as follows:
ps: XCU5.0
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about
industry standards and associated tags.
OPTIONS
Current Syntax
The following options can be used with ps:
-a Prints information to standard output about all processes, except the
session leaders and processes not associated with a terminal.
-A Writes information for all processes.
-d Prints information to standard output about all processes, except the
session leaders.
-e Prints information to standard output about all processes. Equivalent
to -A.
-f Attempts to generate a full listing. Under certain circumstances, the
-f option does not return the full path and arguments of a process.
Instead, it will return a bracketed process name such as
[process_name]. This behavior conforms with the XPG4 standard.
-g glist
Prints only information about processes that are in the process groups
listed in glist. The glist is a list of process-group identifiers
enclosed in " " (double quotes) and separated from one another by a
comma or one or more spaces (or tabs), or both. Because of the way the
shell treats spaces and tabs, you need to quote space-separated lists.
-G glist
Writes information for processes whose real group ID numbers or names
are given in glist. The glist is a list of process-group identifiers
enclosed in " " (double quotes) and separated from one another by a
comma or one or more spaces (or tabs), or both. Because of the way the
shell treats spaces and tabs, you need to quote space-separated lists.
-j [Tru64 UNIX] Produces job control information, with fields specified
for user, pid, ppid, pgid, sess, jobc, state, tname, time and command.
-l Generates a long listing.
-m [Tru64 UNIX] Prints all threads in a task, if the task has more than
one.
-o specifier[=header],...
Specifies a list of format specifiers to describe the output format.
Multiple -o options may be specified. The final output is a
concatenation of all options specified.
[Tru64 UNIX] If the -O option is used with one or more -o options, the
-O option must appear first on the command line.
-O specifier[=header],...
[Tru64 UNIX] Same as the -o option, except it displays the fields
specified by pid, state, tname, time, and command in addition to the
specifiers supplied on the command line.
[Tru64 UNIX] The -O option may be used with one or more -o options.
The result is a concatenated output. The -O option must be specified
first.
-n nlist
Historically, used to specify an alternative system file name list,
nlist, in place of the default.
[Tru64 UNIX] The name list concept (see the nlist(3) reference page)
does not apply to the Tru64 UNIX ps command; consequently, the -n
option is ignored.
-p plist
Displays only information about processes with the process numbers
specified in plist. The plist argument is either a list of process ID
numbers or a list of process ID numbers enclosed in " " (double quotes)
and separated from one another by a comma or one or more spaces (or
tabs), or both. Because of the way the shell treats spaces and tabs,
you need to quote space-separated lists.
-r [Tru64 UNIX] Enables warning messages.
-s slist
[Tru64 UNIX] Displays information about processes belonging to the
sessions specified in slist. The slist argument is either a list of
session ID numbers or a list of session ID numbers enclosed in " "
(double quotes) and separated from one another by a comma or one or
more spaces (or tabs), or both. Because of the way the shell treats
spaces and tabs, you need to quote space-separated lists.
-t tlist
Displays only information about processes associated with the terminals
listed in tlist. The tlist argument is either a list of terminal
identifiers or a list of terminal identifiers enclosed in " " (double
quotes) and separated from one another by a comma or one or more
spaces, or both. Because of the way the shell treats spaces and tabs,
you need to quote space-separated lists.
Terminal identifiers must be in one of two forms:
1. The device's file name
2. The device's digit identifier, if the device's file name begins
with tty
-u ulist
Displays only information about processes with the user ID numbers or
login names specified in ulist. The ulist argument is either a list of
user IDs or a list of user IDs enclosed in " " (double quotes) and
separated from one another by a comma or one or more spaces, or both.
Because of the way the shell treats spaces and tabs, you need to quote
space-separated lists.
In the listing, ps displays the numerical user ID unless the -f option
is used; then it displays the login name.
-U ulist
Writes information for processes whose real user ID numbers or login
names are given in ulist. The ulist argument is either a list of user
IDs or a list of user IDs enclosed in " " (double quotes) and separated
from one another by a comma or one or more spaces, or both. Because of
the way the shell treats spaces and tabs, you need to quote space-
separated lists.
BSD Compatible Syntax
[Tru64 UNIX] The following BSD compatible options can be used with ps
(note that these options are not prefixed with a - (dash) character):
a [Tru64 UNIX] Asks for information regarding processes associated with
terminals (ordinarily only one's own processes are displayed).
A [Tru64 UNIX] Increases the argument space.
e [Tru64 UNIX] Asks for the environment to be printed, as well as the
arguments to the command.
g [Tru64 UNIX] Asks for all processes. Without this option, ps only
prints interesting processes. Processes are deemed to be uninteresting
if they are process group leaders. This normally eliminates top-level
command interpreters and processes waiting for users to log in on free
terminals.
h [Tru64 UNIX] Repeats the header after each screenful of information.
j [Tru64 UNIX] Produces job control information, with fields specified
by user, ppid, pgid, sess, and jobc.
l [Tru64 UNIX] Asks for a detailed list, with fields specified by ppid,
cp, pri, nice, vsize, rssize and wchan.
L [Tru64 UNIX] Lists all available format specifiers.
m [Tru64 UNIX] Prints all threads in a task, if the task has more than
one.
o specifier[=header],...
[Tru64 UNIX] Specifies a list of format specifiers to describe the
output format.
O specifier[=header],...
[Tru64 UNIX] Same as o, except it displays the fields specified by
pid, state, tname, cputime, and comm in addition to the specifiers
supplied on the command line.
s [Tru64 UNIX] Gives signal states of the processes, with fields
specified by uid, cursig, sig, sigmask, sigignore, and sigcatch.
S [Tru64 UNIX] Prints usage summaries (total usage of a command, as
opposed to current usage).
ttty
[Tru64 UNIX] Lists only processes for the specified terminal.
T [Tru64 UNIX] Lists all processes on your terminal.
u [Tru64 UNIX] Produces a user oriented output. This includes fields
specified by user, pcpu, pmem, vsize, rssize, and start.
v [Tru64 UNIX] Produces a version of the output containing virtual
memory statistics. This includes fields specified by cputime, sl,
pagein, vsize, rssize, pcpu, and pmem.
w [Tru64 UNIX] Uses a wide output format (132 columns (bytes) rather
than 80); if this option is doubled (ww), uses an arbitrarily wide
output. This information determines how much of long commands to
print.
x [Tru64 UNIX] Asks even about processes with no terminal.
OPERANDS
Current Syntax
None
BSD Compatible Syntax
process_number
[Tru64 UNIX] Restricts output to the specified process. This argument
must be entered last on the command line.
DESCRIPTION
While ps is a fairly accurate snapshot of the system, ps cannot begin and
finish a snapshot as fast as some processes change state. At times there
may be minor discrepancies.
The ps command can be used on multiprocessor systems and for querying the
system state of realtime applications for their POSIX priority and
scheduling policy.
Output formats for each process include the process ID (pid), control
terminal of the process (tname), CPU time used by the process (cputime)
(this includes both user and system time), the state of the process
(state), and an indication of the command that is running (command). The
abbreviation tty indicates a terminal.
[Tru64 UNIX] The state is given by a sequence of letters, for example,
RWN. The first letter indicates the status of the process:
R [Tru64 UNIX] Runnable process.
U [Tru64 UNIX] Uninterruptible sleeping process.
S [Tru64 UNIX] Process sleeping for less than about 20 seconds.
I [Tru64 UNIX] Idle (sleeping longer than about 20 seconds) process.
T [Tru64 UNIX] Stopped process.
H [Tru64 UNIX] Halted process.
[Tru64 UNIX] Additional characters after these, if any, indicate
additional state information:
W [Tru64 UNIX] Process is swapped out (shows a blank space if the
process is loaded (in-core)).
> [Tru64 UNIX] Process has specified a soft limit on memory requirements
and is exceeding that limit; such a process is (necessarily) not
swapped.
[Tru64 UNIX] An additional letter may indicate whether a process is
running with altered CPU scheduling priority (nice):
N [Tru64 UNIX] Process priority is reduced.
< [Tru64 UNIX] Process priority has been artificially raised.
+ [Tru64 UNIX] Process is a process group leader with a controlling
terminal.

[Tru64 UNIX] A process for which user area information could not be
obtained due to a shortage of system memory.
<exiting>
A process that is blocked trying to exit.
NOTES
1. [Tru64 UNIX] The following BSD compatible options are not supported.
(You can reconstruct the output of these options by using the
appropriate format specifiers, however.)
c [Tru64 UNIX] Displays the command name, as stored internally in
the system for purposes of accounting, rather than the command
arguments, which are kept in the process's address space.
n [Tru64 UNIX] Displays numeric output. In a long listing, the
wchan field is printed numerically rather than symbolically. In a
user listing, the user field is replaced by a uid field.
2. The arguments displayed by args and command format specifiers reflect
the arguments passed to the command at its invocation. Any
modification made to the arguments by the running command are not
available.
3. The arguments displayed by args, command and state format specifiers
are the only output fields that contain embedded blanks, which may be
a concern if the output is passed to some type of parser. Since
output fields appear in the order of the format specifiers on the
command line, you should put these specifiers at the end of the
command if you are using a parser to analyze the output.
RESTRICTIONS
1. [Tru64 UNIX] When you enter a ps command while running an application
that forks child processes, you might see some child processes listed
as being in the <defunct> state after they have exited. Processes in
this state cannot be killed until the process that forked them is
killed.
[Tru64 UNIX] The system puts exiting child processes in the <defunct>
state if their parent process is still running and has not caught the
SIGCHLD signal or executed a wait() system call.
[Tru64 UNIX] To avoid having users encounter this problem when they
run your application, make sure that your program logic either catches
the SIGCHLD signal or executes a wait() system call when spawning a
child process.
2. [Tru64 UNIX] It is an error to use two format specifiers, such as
comm and ucomm or command and args that are really synonyms for the
same output request.
3. [Tru64 UNIX] It is an error to use two or more compound format
specifiers that contain the same simple format specifier, or to use a
simple format specifier with a compound format specifier that includes
the simple specifier.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
EXAMPLES
1. To list all your processes, enter:
ps
2. To list all processes, enter:
ps -A
The BSD equivalent looks like this:
ps ax
3. To list processes owned by specific users, enter:
ps -f -l -ujim,jane,su
4. To list processes associated with a specific terminal, enter:
ps -t console
The BSD equivalent looks like this:
ps tco
5. To display only the pid, user, and comm information for all processes,
enter:
ps -o pid,user,comm -A
6. To display the parent process ID under the header PARENT, as well as
the default headers (fields specified by pid, state, tname, time,
command), enter:
ps -O ppid=PARENT
7. The following ps command shows the use of the SCHED specifier on a
two-processor system with two processor sets:
ps -O SCHED

581 root 0.0 44 44 0 19 ~1 TS ^2 R + ttyp0 0:00.06 ls -l
The display shows that all processes are running under the default
timershare scheduling policy. Processes 458 and 561 are running
unbound to processor 0 in processor set 0. Processes 567, 568, and
569, are running on processor 1 and are bound exclusively (^) to
processor set 2. Processes 579, 580, and 581 are running bound to
processor 1 (~) and are bound exclusively to processor set 2 (^).

This display shows the processor (PSR), processor set (PSET), Resource
Affinity Domain (RAD), and NUMA Scheduling Group (NSG) information for
each process, along with the default information for the -O option.
In the RAD column of the display:
· The letter a before the RAD number indicates that the process is
attached to the RAD. Attachment allows the operating system
software to execute the process on a RAD other than its home RAD.
This is the case for processes 792 and 793 in the display.
· The letter b before the RAD number indicates that the process is
bound to the RAD. Binding prevents the operating system software
from executing the process on any RAD other than its home RAD.
This is the case for certain threads of process 659.
· The letter n before the RAD number indicates that children of the
process do not inherit its RAD attachment (a) or binding (b).
This is the case for process 793. In this case, the application
overrode the operating system default behavior, which is to have
any child process of 793 inherit its RAD attachment or binding.
In the NSG column:
· -1 indicates that the process is not attached to a NUMA
Scheduling Group.
· The letter n before the NSG identifier indicates that any
children of the process do not inherit its NUMA Scheduling Group
attachment. This is the case for process 793, which is attached
to NSG 5. In this case, the application overrode the default
operating system behavior, which is to have any child process of
793 inherit its NSG attachment.
Note that all processes in a NUMA Scheduling Group, including any
child processes, have to execute in the same RAD, as determined
by the first process in the group to attach or bind to a RAD.
Because any child processes of process 793 will not inherit its
NSG attachment, those child processes do not have to execute in
RAD 2.

ps -p $$
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of ps:
COLUMNS
Overrides the horizontal screen size, used to determine the number of
text columns to display.
LANG
Provides a default value for the internationalization variables that
are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value
from the default locale is used. If any of the internationalization
variables contain an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none of
the variables had been defined.
LC_ALL
If set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all the
other internationalization variables.
LC_CTYPE
Determines the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
multibyte characters in arguments).
LC_MESSAGES
Determines the locale for the format and contents of diagnostic
