Can u help plz...Urgent to answer...

ok here goes the 1st question

1. In single-user dedicated systems, it is generally obvious when a program goes into an infinite loop. But in multiuser systems running large numbers of processes, it cannot easily be determined that an individual process is not progressing.

A. Can the OS determine that a process is in an ifinite loop?

B. What reasonable safeguards might be built into an OS to prevent processes in ifinite loops from running indefinitly?


2. In some systems, a spawned process is destroyed automatically when its parent is destroyed; in other systems,spawned processes proceed independently of their parents, and the destruction of a parent has no effect on its children.

A. dicuss the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.

B. Give an example of a situation in which destroying a parent should specifically not result in the destruction of its children.

If anyone should know these answers to these questions i have asked would help me out alot...

Homework help?

 

Re: Plz help me..Urgent to get the answer...

Yeah... I'm betting you have the answers to those questions in a textbook you paid for. Getting the answers from people that already know isn't going to help you learn anything.

Anyway, it sounds more like you need to spend some time WRITING rather than posting on the internet for others to write for you.

Instead of hanging on a forum and posting the same thing twice within a few minutes, I suggest you spend the time and do your own research.
