      The SHOW SYSTEM command in this example was issued from a VAX system
      and shows all processes on the node EON.

      The SHOW SYSTEM command in this example displays all processes
      on the system.

      The information in this example includes the following:

      o  Process identification (PID) code-A 32-bit binary value that
         uniquely identifies a process.

      o  Process name-A 1 to 15-character string used to identify a
         process.

      o  Process state-The activity level of the process, such as COM
         (computing), HIB (hibernation), LEF (local event flag) wait,
         or CUR (if the process is current). If a multiprocessing
         environment exists, the display shows the CPU ID of the
         processor on which any current process is executing.

         Note that the SHOW SYSTEM command examines the processes on
         the system without stopping activity on the system. In this
         example, process information changed during the time that
         the SHOW SYSTEM command collected the data to be displayed.
         As a result, this display includes two processes, named
         GAWAIN and S. Whiplash, with the state CUR on the same CPU,
         CPU ID 6 in the example.

      o  Current priority -The priority level assigned to the process
         (the higher the number, the higher the priority).

      o  Total process I/O count-The number of I/O operations the
         process has used thus far. This consists of both the direct
         I/O count and the buffered I/O count.

      o  Charged CPU time-The amount of CPU time that a process has
         used so far.

      o  Number of page faults-The number of exceptions generated by
         references to pages that are not in the process's working
         set.

      o  Pages-The number of CPU-specific pages in physical memory
         that the process is currently occupying.

      o  Process indicator-Letter B indicates a Batch Job; letter
         S indicates a Sub Process; letter N indicates a Network
         Process. If the letter M precedes B, S, or N, it indicates
         that it is a multithreaded process.

      o  User identification code (UIC)-An 8-digit octal number
         assigned to a process. This number is displayed only if
         the /FULL qualifier is specified.

      This example displays only the nodes available on the cluster
      with their respective uptimes and operating system versions
      because the /NOPROCESS qualifier suppresses the display of
      processes. The /FULL qualifier also displays the type of
      hardware on which the system is running.

      This example places the display of system processes into the
      SYSPROC.DAT file without the heading information using the
      /OUTPUT qualifier. In this way, you can create a data file
      for processing because the heading is suppressed using the
      /NOHEADING qualifier.
