From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: if a program fork()s but the child does not exec, ps will not show it, and add all CPU time to the parent. Killing the parent will then show the child in top and ps. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Compile rabbit.c: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> int main() { fork(); fork(); printf("Rabbit PID=%d\n", getpid()); while (1) {} } [jc@minioreo TEST]$ make rabbit cc rabbit.c -o rabbit [jc@minioreo TEST]$ ./rabbit & [1] 12126 Rabbit PID=12128 Rabbit PID=12127 [jc@minioreo TEST]$ Rabbit PID=12129 Rabbit PID=12126 ps PID TTY TIME CMD 8991 pts/3 00:00:00 bash 12126 pts/3 00:00:02 rabbit 12130 pts/3 00:00:00 ps [jc@minioreo TEST]$ kill 12126 # this will kill parent, not babies [jc@minioreo TEST]$ ps PID TTY TIME CMD 8991 pts/3 00:00:00 bash 12127 pts/3 00:00:04 rabbit 12129 pts/3 00:00:02 rabbit 12131 pts/3 00:00:00 ps top does the same thing. Actual Results: ps and top *incorrectly* do not show the baby-rabbits. Expected Results: I want to see all processes running. If even a ps -e will not show these ``hidden'' processes, what ps-flag would I need? Additional info:
