Testing the forking process.
Hey, first time poster and a new UNIX user here.
My question is regarding the forking process. I logged in to tty1, and typed the command ls -1 and hit enter. How can i tell that the ls -1 command ran in a subshell?
Thanks.

hi,
I thought that when a child shell is forked, it will inherit all the variables of the parent
now in my .cshrc I have
setenv X x
then I do at command line
setenv X y
and X is now y. So far so good!
I then have a very simple script, y.csh
#!/usr/bin/csh
echo X (7 Replies)

process-keyring
PROCESS-KEYRING(7) Linux Programmer's Manual PROCESS-KEYRING(7)
NAME
process-keyring - per-process shared keyring
DESCRIPTION
The process keyring is a keyring used to anchor keys on behalf of a process. It is created only when a process requests it. The process
keyring has the name (description) _pid.
A special serial number value, KEY_SPEC_PROCESS_KEYRING, is defined that can be used in lieu of the actual serial number of the calling
process's process keyring.
From the keyctl(1) utility, '@p' can be used instead of a numeric key ID in much the same way, but since keyctl(1) is a program run after
forking, this is of no utility.
A thread created using the clone(2) CLONE_THREAD flag has the same process keyring as the caller of clone(2). When a new process is cre-
ated using fork() it initially has no process keyring. A process's process keyring is cleared on execve(2). The process keyring is
destroyed when the last thread that refers to it terminates.
If a process doesn't have a process keyring when it is accessed, then the process keyring will be created if the keyring is to be modified;
otherwise, the error ENOKEY results.
