It is very kind of every one who responded: Sean Itiu Hichael Morton <mh1272@yahoo.com> Sanjiv K. Bhatia <sanjiv@aryabhat.cs.umsl.edu> Edward Scown <eascown3@yahoo.com> It was suggested to refer freely downloadable books from docs.sun.com, get a list of books from sunhelp.com. Other sites are www.sunsolve.com, www.solarisguide.com www.sunfreeware.com Mr. Sean suggested me to boot the system in single user mode, dump a ps output to a file, and then do man pages on each entry to find out what they are used for. Mr. Sanjiv K.Bhatia has informed the following, which is very much helpful. There are four process states as given by ps: R, S, T, Z R is Running S is Sleeping T is Traced (the code is being traced/debugged) Z is Zombie As a sys admin, you do not have to worry about them. The zombie process does not take up any resources, except for an entry in process table. You should be worried if you have too many zombies. When the parent of a zombie terminates, zombie automatically dies (init kills it).
