• Linux C Program gcc

• file.c allocates shared memory, uses it then deallocates it

• Make sure there are no errors with allocation

• Read the data from a file into shared memory

• ex: file will contain one integer per line

• file.c fork and exec one child

• Have that child attach to shared memory and read the variable time(xx) given within file.c

• Have the child output any the info into a file called log

• This will have time of child,PID of child,Logical Process Id, and Lvl of tree aka where the child sits on the hierarchy

• For parents output into a file called bin, it will include the # of children and lvl of tree aka where it sits on the hierarchy

• Variables,x = number of child processes,xx = amount of time till termination in seconds

• You cannot have more than 20 processes going at a time

• Ctrl-C frees up shared mem, it also sends a kill signal for the children to terminate itself and prints a terminate message

• The number of children by default is 20 which is put into x
