Need help with tasks!
Hi guys! I have a dummy question for u Smilie

I cant find a solution for these tascks...tried everything (i know Smilie ).
1 Issue the following command sleep 1000
Note that sleep 1000 waits 1000 seconds!!! You cannot do anything now!!!

2 Open another terminal window and enter the tty command to identify the name of this terminal window
Use the ps command to identify the PID of the sleep command (tasks 5)
Kill the sleep command using the PID number.
What did you notice? Can you use now that other terminal window?

Thx for reading this thread!
