Situation Description

High number of stopped processes on this system.

 

Possible Causes
  1. Application failures leaving processes in the stopped state.
  2. Process is being traced (debugged).

 

Suggested Actions

Find the process that is in stopped state. Check if some trace utilities are being run against the process (possibly during production hours) and remediate. Check if the process repeatedly goes into stopped state due to some incorrect application signalling (SIGSTOP).
