UNIX process

What is process
Process is an instance (execution) of a program.
Properties:
● OS will allocate resource to process (CPU, RAM)
● Have a process id
● Can have child process
Example:
● Executing command
● Running a GUI
● Open a browser, accessing URL
10
www.glcnetworks.com
Process type
● Foreground
○ Default mode when executing process
○ Will occupy console, cannot do anything else
● Background
○ Usually for daemon/services
○ Can be done using “&” during execution
Multitasking?
11
www.glcnetworks.com
Zombie and orphan process
● In normal situation:
○ when a child process is killed, the parent process is updated via a SIGCHLD signal. Then the
parent can do some other task or restart a new child as needed.
● In not normal situation:
○ parent process is killed before its child is killed.
○ the "parent of all processes," the init process, becomes the new PPID (parent process ID). In
some cases, these processes are called orphan processes.
● Zombie process (Z)
○ This is a zombie or defunct process
○ The process is dead and not being used
● Orphan processes.
○ They have completed execution but still find an entry in the process table.

Process vs job
● Process
○
● Job:
○
13
www.glcnetworks.com
Process vs thread
● Process
○ Normal procss
● Thread
○ Aka LWP (lightweight process)
○ One process that is divided into several subprocess (aka. thread).
○ The subprocess is not called child process

● Display process:
○ ps
○ Top
● job
● Send signal:
○ kill
16

Sending signal to process
17
www.glcnetworks.com
What, why is signal?
● Signals are a limited form of inter-process communication (IPC)
● To send data/command between process
● Typically used in Unix, Unix-like, and other POSIX-compliant operating
systems.

Example of signal
19
Signal Portable
number
Default action Description
SIGABRT 6 Terminate (core dump) Process abort signal
SIGALRM 14 Terminate Alarm clock
SIGBUS N/A Terminate (core dump) Access to an undefined portion of a memory object
SIGCHLD N/A Ignore Child process terminated, stopped, or continued
SIGCONT N/A Continue Continue executing, if stopped
SIGFPE 8 Terminate (core dump) Erroneous arithmetic operation
SIGHUP 1 Terminate Hangup
SIGILL 4 Terminate (core dump) Illegal instruction
SIGINT 2 Terminate Terminal interrupt signal
