[ale] Wow! Check out these load averages!

[Jonathan Glass (IBB)]

OK.  What does "DN" mean?  The man page says "uninterruptable sleep (due
to I/O) and "low-priority").  How do I kill these processes?

# ps -aux | grep ftp
root      7786  0.0  0.3  2188  780 ?        DN   Mar07   0:00 ftpd:


Thanks again.

Jonathan
