Upon further inspection it appears that the we're dealing with a PA-RISC executable and not a script. There is a wrapper script that calls the executable. And it looks like the executable is what we want to find in the 'ps' output. They both have names that start with 'get'. But 'ps -ef | grep get' never finds any processes that match.
Is 'pstat' a command on it's own? All I found were the HP-UX function libraries in the man pages. Or are you saying we might need to build our own 'ps' command?

Look into doing something with pstat if you need a "fast" ps command. You'll have to run it with slightly elevated priority..

When I run the top command, it shows 1 process as being Stopped. This is not a zombie, but simply a stopped process. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to tell which process this is, nor why it is in a stopped state? Any way of finding this out? (7 Replies)

BZEXE(1) General Commands Manual BZEXE(1)
NAME
bzexe - compress executable files in place
SYNOPSIS
bzexe [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The bzexe utility allows you to compress executables in place and have them automatically uncompress and execute when you run them (at a
penalty in performance). For example if you execute ``bzexe /bin/cat'' it will create the following two files:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 9644 Feb 11 11:16 /bin/cat
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 24576 Nov 23 13:21 /bin/cat~
/bin/cat~ is the original file and /bin/cat is the self-uncompressing executable file. You can remove /bin/cat~ once you are sure that
/bin/cat works properly.
This utility is most useful on systems with very small disks.
OPTIONS
-d Decompress the given executables instead of compressing them.
SEE ALSO
bzip2(1), znew(1), zmore(1), zcmp(1), zforce(1)
CAVEATS
The compressed executable is a shell script. This may create some security holes. In particular, the compressed executable relies on the
PATH environment variable to find gzip and some other utilities (tail, chmod, ln, sleep).
BUGS
bzexe attempts to retain the original file attributes on the compressed executable, but you may have to fix them manually in some cases,
using chmod or chown.
