On Solaris 8..

PHP Code:


			
28166 user   3693M 2736M sleep    5    0   0:05.38 0.0% PROCESS/4

How can I tell if this process is doing anything or just hanging?

Use with caution..., but you can use truss to attach to a running process. See the man page for truss, but it is:

truss -p pid

<control-c> will break you out of the trace.

Cheers,

ps -l pid will show show the status of a process for you besides other things

you can see man page what are the states (R for running and so on )
