Can a batch job truly have a PID of 1?
Is it possible for a process id of 1. Is there anything special about 1 or 8 ?

"1" can't be a process id outside the one used by init (on the global zone with Solaris 10+).

Hi Jill,
So what am I looking at when I issue a ps -ef and I see process id 1 on a job thats executing a java program. Is there any issues with jobs that have a pid of 8?

/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.6.0/jre/bin/sparcv9/java -server -Xmx512m -Xms512m -XX

Thanks

Perhaps are you looking at the wrong column ...

Hi Jill,
On another topic. I have a batch job that seems to hang. What tool or built in utility can I use to see if a batch job is making progress?

Thanks

Then please open a new thread as this is unrelated.

You are probably looking at the parent PID.
When you look at the results of a ps -ef the first column is the PID, which is the parent ID, the next column is the PPID the is the child ID.
