Subject: executable ELF is rm-ed from disk, but still running RAM..
Date: Mon, 30 May 2011 21:49:29 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTin4m+-EOK-iGve_uquJT+VM4RRKfA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all..
As the subject says, I was thinking about that issue.
I know that rm-ing a file doesn't delete the data block from the
backing device, thus the executable could still survive and running.
But logically, we usually expect that once a file is rm-ed, it should
also "stop", right? What does POSIX say about this case anyway? Anyone
could kindly give his/her opinion?
