    what does Ss and S+ and R+ mean in stat column in ps command


man ps, section "PROCESS STATE CODES"

Briefly,

S means sleeping
R means running or runnable

s means the process is a session leader
+ means the process is running in the foreground

I jump here to relief my everlasting UNIX ignorance.

What does it mean a process is "sleeping", technically?
