Homework: Processor Management

In this homework, you will learn to collect information about and send commands to your OS's processor manager. For each of the two questions, do the following:

I. Create a document (use Microsoft word or any equivalent tool such as LibreOffice) and name it appropriately to reflect the homework type, number, and your name.

II. Answer the following questions (if any) in the document you created and justify your answers. To do this, you may need to perform some tasks on your computer, use a snipping or "print screen" tool to take screenshots, and paste the illustrations/pictures into the document. Showing screenshots only does not constitute answering a question. You need to provide both the answer to the question and the screenshots.

III. Save and upload the document to the learning management system (Blackboard). Upload the two documents at once.

Do not forget to show visual evidence (screenshots) of the main actions you took to answer the questions.

2. For how long has your system been up?

3. How do you kill a process in htop? Kill a random process and see if it will have an effect on your OS.

2. Kill the text editing process. What command did you use?

3. Issue the "pstree" command. What is the first process that your OS started? What happens if you kill that process?
