Dear learned colleagues,
I have been searching the Web and the news groups for an answer to my
problem.
I am sorry if this is a dumb question!
I have an application which is creating a number of un-interruptible
sleeping processes. The WCHAN field of the ps command shows a hexadecimal
number.
All of the literature tells me this is "the address of an event within the
system". OK, I thought I knew a bit about Unix! Obviously not!
What does this mean? How can I determine what event/process is blocking
these processes?
TIA
Paul
