[nycbug-talk] ps / top question

[Joshua S. Freeman]

I'm still in the process of doing some bacula testing.

Yesterday, around 12:30 i started writing rawfill to a tape in my tape
library.

When I was ready to go at 6:30 or so, it was still running.

I hit 'control-z' and then 'bg'.


I shutdown my 'puter and went home.

Today ps returns:

root     26509  0.0  0.1  1444  976  p0- DL   12:30AM   4:48.17 ./tapetest
/dev

and top returns:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
27919 root      28   0  1904K  1200K RUN      0:00  0.94%  0.24% top
26509 root      -6   0  1444K   976K physst   4:48  0.00%  0.00% tapetest


two questions:  in the PS results, what does DL mean for a STAT and, is
there ANY way to wake this process up so it can complete or do I have to
kill -9 and start over?

TIA,

J.
