Print Process & Thread Status Usage: ps [-sh-] Show the status of all the background jobs, processes and threads related to this invocation of Hamilton C shell, highlighting the current thread. Background jobs are created when you type an ampersand at the end of a command line. The job number is the number reported when the job is created and applies to all screens, processes and threads created by that job. Processes are created when commands are typed that require other executable programs to run. Process ids begin with 'p'. Threads are concurrent activities going on inside Hamilton C shell. Some, such as the cleanup activities that watch for other threads or processes to end always run in the background. Others are created when a command requires that an internal function be run in the background. Thread ids begin with 't'. Options: -s List details of all processes system-wide. -h Help. (This screen.) -- End of options. (The slash, "/", may be used instead of a minus to introduce options. To specify a different set of characters to introduce options, use the SWITCHCHARS environmental variable.) |
