supose someone ran the following program:
main()
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<32; i++)
signal(i,(char *)1);
while (fork()!=-1)
;
}
then ran it. how would i kill it? i could kill one of them, but
then the others multiply until the limit is reached. then one fails,
terminates, and a new one appears, etc. so i have 1000 processes
with constantly changing pids that have too be stopped simultaneously.
any ideas for stopping it?
