Hi all, i had a doubt regarding a process's code segment in memory. suppose i execute 2 instances of an app. prog. (say 2 apache web server's from two diff. terminal sessions on the same machine), will the code segment of these two processes be shared? I think they will be.... now supposing if i change the binary image of the executable, then how does the kernel figure out that the binary has changed and it should be reloaded for any new invocations of this program.
