Project

Linux C Program gcc

• x = number of child processes,

• xx = amount of time till termination in seconds

• file.c is the file name

• 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 its PID into a file called log

• For the parent processes output its PID into a file called bin

• 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

Let me know if any questions
