A test app does a fork, creates children processes.
Is there a way to view the procTBL "ps" to be able to see that a
process is a "child" process?
I know you can see when a child has stopped, but the parent is still
running.. but is there a way to see if there are "running" children,
some attribute that denotes i'm a child?
Or, is there some attribute that denotes the process has running children?
Every process has a parent process id (PPID), allowing you to deduce the
parent-child relationships.
The GNU ps "f" option will display the process tree with parent-child
relationships.
