No problem. A "show process" will give you a quick indication of how many C H M L processes there are (under the Qty column)..

I was envisaging processes remaining in the queue and a pointer selecting each in turn. In fact of course, because it's not a pre-emptive OS, this doesn't occur, the processes are removed (as in fact stated in the book) and put on either the idle or dead queue. Also I was envisaging an equal number of processes in each queue whereas after further consideration I would guess that most processes are high or medium. thanks again, Marc "Vicuna, Mark" wrote: > > Nope - From step 3&4 in the book. > > There are no counters for critical and high priority queues either.
