PROCESS STATE CODES
D uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)
R runnable (on run queue)
S sleeping
T traced or stopped
W paging
X dead
Z a defunct ("zombie") process
For BSD formats and when the "stat" keyword is used, additional
letters may be displayed:
W has no resident pages
< high-priority process
N low-priority task
L has pages locked into memory (for real-time and custom IO)
Did you try
kill -9 <pid>
how about
kill -STOP <pid>
