howDB2 has a lot files under /proc on aix

[zgh1970]

Hi, All,
We have DB2 ESE V8.2 on aix5l box.
I found on the aix box, DB2 has a lot files under /proc.
You can see from the following:
dr-xr-xr-x 1 db2inst5 db2admin 0 Mar 17 13:44 1015810
dr-xr-xr-x 1 db2inst3 db2admin 0 Mar 17 13:44 1011954
dr-xr-xr-x 1 db2inst3 db2admin 0 Mar 17 13:44 1007660
dr-xr-xr-x 1 db2inst5 db2admin 0 Mar 17 13:44 1003684
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root system 0 Mar 17 13:44 1
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root system 0 Mar 17 13:44 0
/proc #

What are those files for?
As a DBA, I have any ideal on those files.
Thanks,
George

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
It seams those files are related O.S instead of database management
system.

Yes. Such a (virtual) file/directory exists under /proc for each process.
