Advanced #Programming in the #UNIX Environment
Week 7, The Login Process
In this week, we begin our discussion of process relationships, including process groups, sessions, and our first, asynchronous type of interprocess communication in the form of signals. To get us started, we first look at how processes created during the normal Unix boot process relate to one another. (And no, we will _not_ discuss #systemd. I said *normal* boot process.)
