    PROCESSES BY NETWORK FILESYSTEM

    Note: The Processes By Network Filesystem functionality does not work
    correctly in version 4.1x of the Sun operating system. The resulting
    report may be incomplete and/or display processes which are NOT
    associated with the selected partitions.

    Then you can select a process and use the menu buttons to impact it,
    as described in the following subsections.

    Terminate

    This command is very powerful and can be extremely dangerous. It
    will immediately kill the highlighted process. This command will not
    kill related processes, so if there are child processes running they
    will become orphans and will have to be terminated separately. A
    pop-up window will prompt you for verification to terminate the
    process.

    Hangup

    This command is similar to the Terminate command, except it provides
    enough time for the process to shutdown properly. This means the
    process can close any files and terminate any child processes. A
    pop-up window will prompt you for verification to hangup the
    process.

    Suspend

    This command stops a process from working, but it does not terminate
    the process. Essentially, this command puts a process on hold; it
    can be activated again at a later time. You must use the Continue
    command to re-activate a suspended process. A pop-up window will
    prompt you for verification to suspend the process. This command is 
    not supported on NT.

    Continue

    This command allows you to re-activate a process which was
    previously put on hold by a Suspend command. A pop-up window will
    prompt you for verification to resume the process.

    Priority

    This command allows you to change the priority of a process. This
    priority determines when the CPU acts on a process. It may have a
    value from -20 to +20; the smaller the number, the higher the
    priority. Clicking on the Priority button activates a Process
    Priority window. You can enter the desired priority or use the arrow
    buttons to make your selection.
