A kproc is a kernel process, started by the kernel on behalf of either another kernel process, or as a result of an application initiating a system call or call to a kernel service.
Wait - You will find that the "wait" kproc will have accumulated a lot of cpu time. This just means your system is idle a lot. When nothing else needs to run, the wait kproc is charged the time slice
GIL - "Global ISR List" ISR->Interrupt Service Routines - multithreaded kproc runs at fixed pri of 37 Used to process various timers (tcp, streams, ....) and also used to pass packets from demux layer to IP layer for non-CDLI drivers.
ps -lk
The processes with nice value of -- are running with fixed priorities. Their nice values can not be changed. On my system that would processes such as swapper (pid=0, pri=16) and the wait kproc (pid=514, pri=127).
This will list out all the kprocs. Now do a pstat -a to find what they really are?
This will show you the real name of the kproc.
Aump kernel thread is left over after you stop the automounter daemon.
Yes. It goes away after reboot. However, there is an APAR for it: IY33240
