C.5.8. Linux::Process Counts by State

The Linux::Process Counts by State probe identifies the number of processes in the following states:

Blocked — A process that has been switched to the waiting queue and whose state has been switched to waiting.
Defunct — A process that has terminated (either because it has been killed by a signal or because it has called exit()) and whose parent process has not yet received notification of its termination by executing some form of the wait() system call.
Stopped — A process that has been stopped before its execution could be completed.
Sleeping — A process that is in the Interruptible sleep state and that can later be reintroduced into memory, resuming execution where it left off.

Requirements — The Red Hat Network Monitoring Daemon (rhnmd) must be running on the monitored system to execute this probe.
