Due: 2/2/2001 - Class Time
Write a C program that performs a printf(..) describing all significant
events during the execution of the following outline:
int main()
{
what is my pid and my parent's pid
fork()
was it successful?
the new child process should
{ announce its birth
what is its pid and its
parent's pid
sleep a couple seconds
announce its impending death
exit
}
the parent should announce the creation of a child
process
tell the child's pid
system("ps -al");
wait for the child to die
<---------'A' section. I may have not mentioned this in class
announce the child's death
exit or return
}
=================================================================
You will use the 'script' command to capture all necessary information for handin.
After you have generated the 'script' file, edit it by adding a comment
to each line generated by
the system(...) call noting what each of the processes corresponds
to in terms of your program.
