To View Processes

To view processes for the current system:
Step 1 Click the View Processes button. The screen displays all processes currently running on the
system.
For each process, the screen displays:
•Name: The name of the process.
•PID: The process's ID number.
•Type: Either Critical (blue), Known, (green), or unknown (red). This categorization for each
process is based on modifiable process definitions stored in the Processes Definition List.
•Information: Additional information about the process as defined in the Processes Definition
List.
Note: Support Tools automatically downloads the list of current processes at the time you
connect to a system. If you suspect the system's processes have changed since you first connected
to it, click the Refresh button to refresh the list.
