Using either a UNIX or a Linux system, write a C program that forks a child process that ultimately becomes a zombie process. Process states can be obtained from the command: ps -l
The process states are shown below the S column; processes with a state of Z are zombies. The process identifier (pid) of the child process is listed in the PID column, and that of the parent is listed in the PPID column. Because you do not want too many zombie processes existing in the system, you will need to remove the one that you have created. The easiest way to do that is to terminate the parent process using the kill command. For example, if the process id of the parent is 4884, you would enter kill -9 4884
i need the code (with comments if possible) and the output (preferably as screenshots it would be clearer). Thank you
Any doubt please comment me. I use linux for this and instead of ps -l I use ps -al. I define the concept in the comments in the program.
Answer)
code
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
//Zombie process is a process which is terminated but the entry
remains
//in the process table. And we can delete a zombie process by
deleting its
//parent process. Here the program is the parent process and we
exceute the child
//process by the fork() function.
pid_t cpid = fork(); //pid_t is used to hold the process
ID.
//fork() is used to create a child process and send
//the value to the cpid
//The parent process is the program itself
// checking whether child process is 0. For checking this
// the parent process goto sleep for 500 seconds. In between
// the child process exit. Now that child process cannot be
//deleted from process table because the parent process is
alive,
//so the child process become a zombie or defunct.
if (cpid != 0)
sleep(500);
// Child process exit
else
exit(0);
}
save the file and follow the screenshot.
First I compile the program.
Then I execute and send the program in background by &
Now I run the ps -al, which show me zombie by Z in the stat column
Then I kill the parent process ID of the Zombie process, so it automatically deleted.
As the child process is deleted but the parent is still alive, so the child process still remains in the process table, which is a zombie process.

I will provide, best rating. Please help me out understand how to solve part 2 of this problem. I'm not sure how to make this work using ONLY the exec-family. No system() function call. 1. Using either a UNIX or a Linux system, write a C program that forks a child process that ultimately becomes a zombie process. This zombie process must remain in the system for at least 10 seconds. Process states can be obtained from the command: ps...
(In Unix) Make a C program that creates a zombie child process. Both parent and child processes should execute the command "ps" to show the current process list. (1) ** Copy and paste your code in your report. ** (2) Take a screen shot that shows the defunct information generated by "ps".
You are required to write a C program on Unix/Linux in which the parent process creates three child processes, lets them run concurrently, and waits for them to return and prints their exit status. The three child processes are assigned different tasks. Child one is to calculate and display the highest mark of a class of ten students for a unit. Child one is required to get the marks from the standard input (i.e. the keyboard). Child two is to...
How to Write a C program (for Linux/Unix) that: –Creates a struct, where each instance can store one message. –Forks a process. –Creates 2+ messages, with contents of your choice, in the parent and sends them to the child via a named or anonymous pipe. –Prints the contents of all received messages in the child process. –If necessary, cleans up after the pipe. Note (the subjects about signal and Pipes )
Write a C program for Linux called pipes.c that does the following: In the main() function, it creates a pipe using the pipe() function, then creates two child processes with fork(). Child 1 redirects stdout to the write end of the pipe and then executes with execlp() the "ps -aux" command. Child 2 redirects its input from stdin to the read end of the pipe, then it executes the "sort -r -n -k 5" command. After creating both children, the...
Write a program in C using the fork() system call to do the following. The parent process (main program) forks a process (CHILD 1) to compute and print the sum of first n integers where n is a variable shared between the parent and CHILD 1. It also forks another process (CHILD 2) that finds the sum of squares of the first n numbers where n is a variable it shares with the parent. Let CHILD 1 print “The sum...
For Linux Operating System: Write a simple test program in C to find out PIDs of ALL ancestor (i.e., parent, grandparent ) processes of the current process or a given process specified by a PID. A parent process's PID of a given process pid can be found in /proc/$pid/status
C program To develop a C program to implement a process system call. PROBLEM You are to use the Ubuntu operating system to write a C program that creates a process to determine the identification of the current user of your computer. I mean if joe is the login of the current user of your computer your solution should return joe. Your solution must also provide the pid of both the parent and the child processes. You may use the...
You are currently running/debugging a shell script program in the foreground that seems to be in an infinite loop, to terminate/kill the shell script program. 7. (type/enter - control C to send a "program interrupt" ) or (contact the sysadmin person to kill your shell script program) 8. The UNIX/Linux exit command entered on the KORN shell command line will exit the shell session properly (best practice). [True / False] When killing a background process with the kill command you...
Questions: 1) Write a simple program to create three processes using fork() commands. Use any three of the six system calls to show how each child process executes new sub-programs using exec’s minions. Show the output of each of the child process with different data samples. 2) Write a simple program in your Linux environment using C++ to identify PID, PPID and GID for the processes created in Question 1 and display the real and effective user ID. 3) Modify...
