[14] initramfs, also known as early user space, has been available since version 2.5.46 of the Linux kernel, [18] with the intent to replace as many functions as possible that previously the kernel would have performed during the startup process. Typical uses of early user space are to detect what device drivers are needed to load the main user ...
Similarly, the kill(1) command allows a user to send signals to processes. The raise(3) library function sends the specified signal to the current process. Exceptions such as division by zero, segmentation violation , and floating point exception will cause a core dump and terminate the program.
As a security and auditing feature, sudo may be configured to log each command run. When a user attempts to invoke sudo without being listed in the configuration file, an exception indication is presented to the user indicating that the attempt has been recorded. If configured, the root user will be alerted via mail. By default, an entry is ...
The root user typically changes the current runlevel by running the telinit or init commands. The /etc/inittab file sets the default runlevel with the :initdefault: entry. On Unix systems, changing the runlevel is achieved by starting only the missing services (as each level defines only those that are started / stopped).
While a long filename can be returned under CMD.EXE depending on the current directory, the fact that the current directory will always be in 8.3 format under COMMAND.COM will cause it to return a short filename under COMMAND.COM, even when COMMAND internally calls CMD.
It is sometimes called the current working directory (CWD), e.g. the BSD getcwd [1] function, or just current directory. [2] When a process refers to a file using a simple file name or relative path (as opposed to a file designated by a full path from a root directory ), the reference is interpreted relative to the working directory of the process.
Seed oils, including peanut oil and sunflower oil, have been in the news a lot recently. Dietitians explain if seed oils are healthy, and health risks of them.
The process scheduler is a part of the operating system that decides which process runs at a certain point in time. It usually has the ability to pause a running process, move it to the back of the running queue and start a new process; such a scheduler is known as a preemptive scheduler, otherwise it is a cooperative scheduler.
