Subject: About PID...???!!!
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 07:23:44 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030910142344.8594.qmail@web20008.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi All,

I have been using linux for quite some time. I wonder
how the PID is assigned by the kernel. Is there
anything like range of PID for each user? In my
machine I could see PIDs of 256, 389, 413 etc. Does
this mean that there are almost 413 processes running?

Please explain.....

with regards,
M. SilambuChelvan
