Hi
# ps auxw | egrep "USER|rsync"
root 5301 0.0 0.0 10036 1280 ? Ss 01:13
root 5306 0.2 0.1 56212 31912 pts/0 S+ 01:14
root 5307 0.0 0.1 38052 29708 pts/0 S+ 01:14
root 5308 0.2 0.1 38312 29672 pts/0 S+ 01:18
root 5473 0.0 0.0 2660 592 ttyS1 R+
what does Ss and S+ and R+ mean in stat column in ps command
man ps, section "PROCESS STATE CODES"
Briefly,
S means sleeping
R means running or runnable
s means the process is a session leader
+ means the process is running in the foreground
Is that enough, or do you need more explanation?
