Hi, I'm testing some Java programs and I've noted that Linux sees Java processes differently from c ones. A preliminary statements: 1) I compile C programs with gcc and Java programs with gcj, so the binary code is equivalent. 2) the main of the programs are similare. They execute anoly a while(true) loop in which a string is printed. The C executable file is "cprog". The Java executable file is "javaprog". When I run "ps -l -C cprog", the result is like this: pid ppid ....... 490 474 ........ While, the result of "ps -l -C javaprog" is like this: pid ppid ......... 510 507 ........ 511 510 ........ 512 511 ...... Why this happens on Java programs? What is the real program? I want to underline that, in these examples, I'm not using threads. Vincenzo Mallozzi. ___________________________________ Yahoo!
