A Five-State Process Model
The not-running state in the two-state
model has now been split into a ready
state and a blocked state
1. Running - currently being executed
2. Ready - prepared to execute
3. Blocked - waiting for some event to
occur (for an I/O operation to complete, or a resource to become available, etc.)
4. New - just been created
5. Exit - just been terminated
