How Does Preemptive and non-Preemptive kernel works in following case.

["Manjunath Naik" <peter.desouzain@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have program as shown below,

  main()
 {
     while(1);
  }


  it is infinite loop without exit condition. So the program will
consume all the CPU or hogs the CPU. How this scenarios is handled in
both preemtive and non-preemtive schedular.

   Whether this process will be killed  after some time by OS. If yes
which process does this and how it does since that process wonot get
CPU time.

Thanks
