QUESTION 3

1. RGI has asked for a patch to its Linux Server operating systems showing the fork and exec process on a UNIX system. Note that the fork system call returns the PID of each process's child to each respective process - It returns a zero to the child process and a non-zero child PID to the parent process, so the return value indicates which process is the parent and which process is the child. Write the code of the request for RGI.
