dspst (display_process_status) - display process status graphically
usage: dspst [-r n] [-p] [-L1] [-os] [-m]
             [-io] [-a] [-n node_spec]
             [-large|-small]



DESCRIPTION
     dspst displays process statistics in a graphical, bar-chart fashion
     within the current process window.  The chart is updated periodically
     (see -r below).  The default action of this command is to display the
     brief Domain/OS process list, all user processes and all I/O information
     in a font size automatically selected based on window size.

     While dspst is running, the following keys are interpreted as follows:

     All Keyboards:

     CRTL/T               Move to top
     CRTL/B               Move to bottom
     RETURN               Exit
     CRTL/N               Exit
     CRTL/Y               Exit and save current image
     Boxed up arrow       Scroll backward 1/2 window
     Boxed down arrow     Scroll forward 1/2 window
     Shifted up arrow     Scroll backward 1 line
     Shifted down arrow   Scroll forward 1 line
     EXIT or ABORT        Exit
     SAVE                 Exit and save current image

OPTIONS
     -r n           Specify that the display should be repeatedly updated
                    every n seconds.  If this option is omitted, the display
                    is updated every 4 seconds.

     -p             Show process information.

     -l1            Show Domain/OS and user-process information.

     -os (default)  Show brief Domain/OS and full user-process information.

     -m             Show missing CPU time.

     -io (default)  Show I/O statistics.

     -a             Show all information (same as -l1 -io -m).

     -n node_spec   Specify remote node whose process statistics are to be
                    listed.

     -large (default)
                    Force use of large font for display.

     -small         Force use of small font for display.

EXAMPLES
