ps will give you the status as sleeping or running or zombie
Orhpans = either zombies or daemons. daemons show owner=root and parent pid = 1
Ended process means looking into accounting files like wtmp, bmtp, or utmp for process entries with ut_type=USER_PROCESS (in C code).

Hey,

Thanks for the reply first.
Can you tell me how to list those processes with their status ?
as in using ps -ef command.
I am using AIX5.3 flavor of unix.
