We consider the Lindley process of a continuous-time Markov chain St
on the integers, with jumps only to neighboring states, and the level hitting time τ
N
of level
. The joint distribution of
and τ
N
is derived. In the special case of the queue length process of an M/M/1 queue this leads to results on the asymptotic behavior of τ
N
.
