Answer / upendar
As a process executes it changes state according
to its circumstances. Unix processes have the following states:
Running : The process is either running or it is ready
to run .
Waiting : The process is waiting for an event or for a resource.
Stopped : The process has been stopped, usually by receiving a signal.
Zombie : The process is dead but have not been removed from the process table.
