Processes in sleep state with top command

[Former Member]

Hi All!

Please clear my doubt!

As per my understanding,the work processes in a Solaris zone remain in sleep state whenever

it is in "Wait" state in dpmon.Am i correct?Or is there any problem with the processes

in sleep mode.

Please clarify..

Thanks,

Sushma

If you want to do that analogy, yes.

The Solaris kernel "suspends" the processes if they have no work.
