  2. Job control (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_control_(Unix)

    The jobs command will list the background jobs existing in the job table, along with their job number and job state (stopped or running). When a session ends when the user logs out (exits the shell, which terminates the session leader process), the shell process sends SIGHUP to all jobs, and waits for the process groups to end before ...

  3. Background process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_process

    The jobs command will list all processes associated with the current terminal and can be used to bring background processes into the foreground. [4] [11] When a login session ends, via explicit logout or network disconnection, all processes, including background processes, will by default be terminated, to prevent them from becoming orphan ...

  4. kill (command) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_(command)

    It behaves much like the kill command above, but instead of sending a signal to an individual process, the signal is sent to all processes on the system. However, on others such as IRIX , Linux , and FreeBSD , an argument is supplied specifying the name of the process (or processes) to kill.

  6. Foreground-background - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreground-background

    Foreground-background is a scheduling algorithm that is used to control an execution of multiple processes on a single processor. It is based on two waiting lists, the first one is called foreground because this is the one in which all processes initially enter, and the second one is called background because all processes, after using all of their execution time in foreground, are moved to ...

  7. nohup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup

    Some shells (e.g. bash) provide a shell builtin that may be used to prevent SIGHUP being sent or propagated to existing jobs, even if they were not started with nohup. In bash, this can be obtained by using disown-h job; using the same builtin without arguments removes the job from the job table, which also implies that the job will not receive the signal.

  8. List of Unix daemons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unix_daemons

    Listens for network connection requests. If a request is accepted, it can launch a background daemon to handle the request, was known as the super server for this reason. Some systems use the replacement command xinetd. lpd: The line printer daemon that manages printer spooling. nfsd [3] Processes NFS operation requests from client systems ...

  9. Run queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run_queue

    When the active array contains no more processes, the scheduler swaps the active and expired arrays, hence the name O(1) scheduler. In UNIX or Linux, the sar command is used to check the run queue. The vmstat UNIX or Linux command can also be used to determine the number of processes that are queued to run or waiting to run. These appear in the ...
