Class CIM_UnixProcess
extends CIM_Process

Each instance of the CIM_UnixProcess class represents a single instance of a running program. A user of the Operating System will typically see a Process as an application or task. Within an OperatingSystem, a Process is defined by a workspace of memory resources and environmental settings that are allocated to it. On a multitasking System, this workspace prevents intrusion of resources by other Processes. Additionally, a Process can execute as multiple Threads, all which run within the same workspace.

ProcessWaitingForEventstring
DescriptionstringA description of the event this process is currently sleeping for. The precise nature of this string is implementation defined, but is typically the address of a system data structure that will be modified when the event occurs. This string only has meaning when the ExecutionState is "Blocked" or "SuspendedBlocked".
