Strange processes on Aix 5.2

All,

 

We are reviewing processes on our P690 machine and get the following.

I've googled a little bit but can't find anything of interest.  Are
these processes that I should be concerned with - should we kill them?
A normal ps -ef | grep 45078 does not return the process, so I really
can't figure out what these are.

 

Thanks


Tom
