Hello,
I'm doing a project of OS simulation (Process Scheduling, to be very specific). Can anyone, please, explain what exactly happens in the background when we see "Sending all processes the KILL signal...........". How is it sent to each process? Is it that something like a boolean is stored somewhere and each process checks that before its normal execution?? Is it stored somewhere with the process image?? Does every process get a chance to execute something after this signal is passed?? Does PCB come into the picture?? I'm totally lost from all the fragmented info i found thru google (teoma, askjeeves, etc).
Please, if anybody can help me out with this quickly, it would be highly appreciated!!
Ameya
