    Re: Unix

    use the command 'ps' or 'ps -A' to view all processes. fork is the system call to start new process in unix.

    Re: Unix

    you also can do a top to see what process is taking up the most CPU usage.

    also ps -aef |grep (PID)
    to find the process..

    Re: Unix

    PS always required before you kill the process,
    so it is a very important command in Unix.
    Ex- kill ' process ID'

    Ans:-

    1> ps ax (or -ax) | grep "PID" ==>> details about process

    2> By using fork() system call only we can create child process

    Thanks,

    Re: Unix

    1) ps -aef |grep (PID)

    2) fork command are mainly use for the creating the process and
    syntax for creating the fork is p_fork(int id)........

    and there is a P_join command is for killing the child process
    how to know the parent process ?
    while parent process id always 0.....
    we can use more than fork in our program.....ok

    Hi,
    TOP and ps -ef are the commands to check the the processes which are running on a machine.. and TOP gives how much resources, each process is taking on system...

    and fork is user to create some child processes.
