About displaying robotic processes with vmps on UNIX

The vmps script shows the Media Manager daemons and robotic processes that are active on a UNIX system.

To run this script, use the following command:

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmps

In the following sample, the second column contains the process IDs for the processes.

root       303  0.0  0.2  136  264 ?  S    Feb 11  4:32 ltid -v
root       305  0.0  0.0  156    0 ?  IW   Feb 11  0:54 vmd -v
root       306  0.0  0.0  104    0 ?  IW   Feb 11  0:15 tl8d -v
root       307  0.0  0.0   68   56 ?  S    Feb 11 12:16 avrd
root       310  0.0  0.0  116    0 ?  IW   Feb 11  0:07 tl8cd -v

The status for the nbemm command is not shown in the output of vmps. The nbemm status is shown in the output of the bpps command.
