I've noticed that I have 4 processes running on a system that are consuming
most of the cpu time.

I receive the following information using the ps command;

#ps -f -l -uowprd
F S UID PID PPID %CPU PRI NI RSS WCHAN STARTED TIME COMMAND
80c08001 R +1001 562190 562189 94.0 44 0 64K -Jan 06 58-14:50:22 -ksh (ksh)
80c08001 R +1001 562199 562198 34.9 44 0 64K -Jan 06 58-14:20:12 -ksh (ksh)
80c08001 R +1001 569736 569735 35.7 44 0 208K -Jan 13 51-17:37:58 -ksh (ksh)
80c08001 R +1001 569793 569792 34.6 44 0 344K -Jan 13 51-17:12:18 -ksh (ksh)

They are also visible using the top command.

I'm not sure what the -ksh command is doing other than the Korn shell. Is
there anyway I can find out more information on what these processes are
doing before I kill them?

Thanks,

Tim
