pidof and pstree both uses /proc. But, there has to be some other way of doing the same thing, as it is the assignment given to us. Assignment explicitly mentions to not to use /proc file system and ps, pstree, or pidof commands.
There has to be some way of doing it. I will try to find it out and will post the result here, if I am able to find out.
Thanks a lot for taking your time to reply the questions.
Thanks and regards,
Prasad.
