RE: Honey Well Written Test -  Operating ...
 

1) execlp() command is used for this. It is called Overlaying. It has 3 parameters. Name of new process and 2 more.

2) By default image of new born process is the image of its parent.

4) sn command.. soft link command

A soft link or a symbolic link is the one which only points to the file ,

but a hard link is the one which when deleted , deletes the actual file too.
