Hi, Robert!
You may also use zombie status. Just implement a small new program:
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (void)
{
if (!fork()) {
execl ("./main", "main", NULL);
}
sleep (50);
return 0;
}
Your process will be "zombie" for 50 seconds. And during this time you may
obtain any information about this process in /proc filesystem.
Good luck!
