These are Unix System Services processes initiated from the /etc/rc script
at IPL time. You can find out more about them from the SDSF PS display or
the system command D OMVS,A=ALL or by using the ps shell command
and by browsing /etc/rc. They can be restarted if necessary but you need
to find out what service is being supported by these address spaces first.
You can also find more information in Unix System Services Planning.

Mentioned, at least, in:

The problem is that there is usually one line in /etc/rc that says:

export _BPX_JOBNAME='ETCRC' 

Which causes all the processes started to get ETCRCn as the job name.
At some point the sample rc came with the INETD startup (comented out)
to change _BPX_JOBNAME, but that only changes it for INETD since it
isn't exported.

So depending on what else you are starting in /etc/rc, you may want to
do something like this:

# Start the SYSLOGD daemon which supplies logging functions for programs
_BPX_JOBNAME='SYSLOGD' /usr/sbin/syslogd -f /etc/syslog.conf &  

# Start the INET daemon for remote login activity   
_BPX_JOBNAME='INETD' /usr/sbin/inetd /etc/inetd.conf &  

# Start Cron
_BPX_JOBNAME='CRON'  /usr/sbin/cron &
