Wait Process !

[makesysb]

Hello All ,

How do i check on a wait process in an aix operating system environment. Would someone help me find the solution as in the aix perf tuning guide Chap: 3, it tells me that a process whose Status shows as A(Active) is a wait process how do i determine it to be wait process.

any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanx
SA

Looks like you are not running 5.2 - wait processes show up as kproc.
