Hi, Just wondering if someone could explain the mechanism of gnome desktop with respect to processes.
In particular gnome-terminal has PPID=1 If I launch apps from gnome-panel this seems to be the case by default. I assume this is by design? Just trying to get more insights into how things work and also because some user processes sometimes take up resources suddenly and it's not immediately clear whether processes with PPID=1 have been left behind or are "legitimate". Below I launched firefox from the shell prompt and this is reflected below.... gnome-terminal(7048)-+-bash(726)-+-firefox-bin(16007)-+-{firefox-bin}(16009) | | |-{firefox-bin}(16010) | | |-{firefox-bin}(16012) | | |-{firefox-bin}(16030) | | |-{firefox-bin}(16031) | | `-{firefox-bin}(16345) | `-pstree(17519) |-bash(4101) |-bash(13436)---ssh(32453) |-bash(17917)---ssh(28193) |-gnome-pty-helpe(7051) `-{gnome-terminal}(7053) gnome-vfs-daemo(6103) gnome-volume-ma(6097) kded(7786) kdeinit(7776)-+-kio_file(9617) |-klauncher(7784) `-konqueror(9763) kio_uiserver(9447) knotify(7827) konversation(7746) mapping-daemon(6119) mixer_applet2(6263) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
