1. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 1 Introduction to UNIX / Linux - 8 Dr. Jerry Shiao, Silicon Valley University

2. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 2 Introduction UNIX/Linux Course Section 8  Processes What is a Process?  UNIX creates a process when External Command or Shell Script executes, removes a process when command or script terminates. Process Hierarchy and CPU Scheduling.  Time-Sharing System. Concept of a Process, Multiple Process.  Execution of External Command or Shell Script. Process Attributes. Process and Job Control  Foreground and Background Processes.  Sequential and Parallel Processes.  Abnormal Termination of Commands and Processes

3. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 3 Summer 2015 Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Processes  UNIX system creates process every time external command executes and deletes process when external command completes.  Consists of: Executing program code. Process State  Registers: Fast memory.  Ready/Running/Waiting/Swapped/Zombie Set of resources (i.e. open files). Internal kernel data (i.e. struct task_struct). Address space. One or more threads of execution. Data section (i.e. global variables).

4. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 4 Summer 2015 Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Processes  Time-Sharing System (UNIX) – Multiple Processes execute simultaneously.  Scheduling Policy: Set of Rules to select Process for Execution. Fast process response time, good throughput background jobs, avoid process starvation, reconcilitate low and high priority processes. Time sharing principle based on timer interrupts.  Each process has time slice or quantum. When quantum expires, context switch occurs (process appear to run concurrently).  Timer interrupts used by Linux to measure process quantum.  Quantum Linux 2.4: 210ms, Linux 2.6: 100ms. Linux dynamically changes process priority.  Priority Value = Threshold priority + Nice Value + (Recent CPU usage / 2)  Priority adjusted higher for releasing CPU before quantum (I/O- bound process).  Priority adjusted lower for using entire quantum (CPU-bound process).

5. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 5 Summer 2015 Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Processes  Scheduling Algorithm  Epoch is division of CPU time or a period of time  Every process has a maximum time quantum computed at beginning of each epoch.  When process waiting for I/O its quantum suspended and can be used again in the epoch until its fully used.  Epoch ends when all runnable processes have used all of their quantum Process_3 Quantum_3 epoch Process_2 Quantum_2 Process_1 Quantum_1 Process_3 Quantum_3 Process_1 Quantum_1 Process_1 Quantum_1

6. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 6 Copyright @2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Processes  UNIX Process States Process can be in one of many states (Ready, Swapped, Running, Waiting, Zombie). Moves from one state to another. Finishes execution (normally or abnormally) and exists system.

8. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 8 Copyright @2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Processes  Shell Command Execution Internal (built-in) command has code is part of the shell (i.e. bash) process.  bg, cd, continue, echo, exec, export, fg, pwd, set, umask, wait External command has code in a file (i.e. binary or shell script) found in $PATH.  grep, more, cat, mkdir, rmdir, ls, sort, ftp, telnet, ps fork System Call  UNIX process can create another process by using the fork system call.  Creates an exact memory map of the calling process.  Parent process is the calling process (i.e. shell).  Child process is the created process (i.e. command file). exec System Call  Process overwrite itself with executable code for another command.  Child process uses exec system call to execute shell external command.

The process is copied in memory from the parent. - Copy-on-write memory pages created. - Duplicate parent’s page tables. - Create unique task_struct for the child. - Return value = 0 indicates child’s process. child PID in the parent’s process. -1 error, no child process created.

12. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 12 Copyright @2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Processes  Shell Command Execution Shell script: a series of shell commands in a file Execution of a shell script is different from execution of an external binary command Execution of a shell script:  The current shell creates a child shell and lets the child shell execute commands in the shell script, one by one.  The child shell creates a child for every command it executes  While the child shell is executing commands in the script file, the parent shell waits for the child to terminate, after which it comes out of waiting state and resumes execution  Only purpose of child shell is to execute commands and eof means no more commands  The child shell is same as parent, unless specified in first line:  # ! /bin/csh

13. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 13 Copyright @2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Processes  Shell Command Execution Running another shell: #!/bin/csh

14. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 14 Copyright @2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Processes  Shell Command Execution  Subshells ( from current Shell ) Execute commands in another shell. Command line, run the shell (shell becomes the child of the current shell).  sh : Bourne shell  csh : C shell  ksh : Korn shell  bash : Bourne again shell  Commands in Shell Script Child shell has the type of the parent shell. Default, child shell executed by “copy” of parent shell. Change child shell for shell script with “# ! shell-path-name”.  First line of the shell script.  # ! /bin/csh

24. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 24 Copyright @2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Process and Job Control  Foreground Process: Syntax: command Executing process keeps control of the keyboard and display screen, until process completes.  Background Process Syntax: command & “&” End of command places command in background. Command takes long time to complete (i.e. find, sort commands). Executing releases the keyboard and display screen to the shell. Local Shell Session can execute multiple background processes in parallel.

Background Process  Use “kill” command.  Use “fg” to bring process into foreground and then use. Primary purpose of “kill” command is to send a signal, a software interrupt, to a process. Process actions upon receiving a signal:  Accept the default action (terminate the process).  Ignore the signal.  Intercept the signal and take an user-defined action. Internal signal ( trap) caused by event internal to the process. External signal caused by event external to the process.

SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 40 Copyright @2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Process Termination  Logout all processes running in your session get a Hangup Signal and terminates (Default Action).  nohup command [ args ] Purpose: Run “command” and ignore hangup signal (1). Used when a process executes for a long time and do not want to log out (Signal 1) to terminate the process. nohup process should run in background. Logout: Process will ignore the Hangup Signal. Run multiple nohup processes. $ nohup find / -name foo –print 1> foo.paths 2> /dev/null & [1] 15928 $ nohup GenData > employees ; sort employees > sorted & [2] 15931

41. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 41 Copyright @2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Process Hierarchy in UNIX  init Process: Initial process which starts other processes from the Linux configuration file. Has a PID of 1. Starts up Getty Process for every terminal.  Getty Process: Starts up on active terminal and starts Login Process.  Login Process: Child process fork from the Getty Process and checks validity of the login name and password.  Swapper Process: Starts up the Init Process, scheduler function, and becomes the Idle Process.  UNIX ptree command displays the process tree of the currently running processes on the system showing parent-child relationship.

42. SILICON VALLEY UNIVERSITY CONFIDENTIAL 42 Copyright @2005 Pearson Addison-Wesley Introduction UNIX/Linux Course  Process Hierarchy in UNIX Init Process exists during lifetime of the system. Getty Process exists as long as the terminal is attached to the system. Shell Process exists as long as user is logged in. Command Process exists as long as command executes.
