Hello!

What does it mean when some processes appear in square brackets in 
top's output, like this:

  PID USERNAME     PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
  184 mysql        -14   0   133M 30332K inode    3:37  3.81%  3.81% mysqld
  547 www            2   0   203M 16664K poll     0:06  1.59%  1.56% java
  504 www            2   0 23688K  6344K poll     0:00  1.69%  0.44% httpd

I couldn't find this info in the man pages of my FreeBSD 4.9 server
