    The document provides instructions for 4 exercises on simple process management using C. Exercise 1 has the student write a program to create a parent and child process using fork, with each printing their PID. Exercise 2 extends this to create 10 processes, each printing their PID before sleeping for 5 seconds. The parent waits for all children to terminate. Exercise 3 modifies Exercise 2 so the parent terminates when the second child does. Exercise 4 creates a program to manage 10 continuously running child processes - 5 printing random numbers, 5 printing random numbers and their squares, replacing terminated children to maintain 10 processes.

    LAB 2 simple process management


    Exercise 1: write a C program that creates a parent and a child process using
    the fork system call. The child process must print its PID, whereas the parent
    process must print both its PID and the PID of the child.

    Exercise 2: write a C program that creates 10 processes using the fork


    system call. Each process must print its PID, wait for 5 seconds and than end
    its execution. The father process waits until all children terminate and then
    ends its execution.
    Hint: Use sleep(msec) to pause the execution of a program for a given
    time.

    Exercise 3: modify the solution of exercise 2 so that the parent process


    terminates when the second created child terminates.

    Exercise 4: create a C program that manages 10 child processes. The


    process wants to have 10 child processes always running. 5 processes have
    to continuously generate a random number and print it on the screen, 5
    processes have to continuously generate a random number and print it and its
    square on the screen. Every time a child process terminates it must be
    replaced by a new child of the same type.
