Running Process
If I try to manipulate(either delete or overwrite) the executable(binary file) of a process, which is currently running, what are the possible side-effects that I will have?

On a local filesystem you will get a "text file busy" error message and you won't be able to do it. If the execable is running on an nfs client and some other box modifies the executable, the process will abort.

HP-UX and probably other versions of Unix will allow you to rename a running executable using the mv command.
Useful if you want to make an update for an executable pending until it is stopped/restarted.
