Code to create an orphan process?

[neozonka]

Can anyone help me in writing the code to create an orphan process......?? ??

[rski]

You mean to process which will be addopted by init (as i know on most unix-like systems every orphan process is addopted by init)?

Yeah ....i need the code to do the same......can u plz provide ????

You want code in C? bash? or any

I need the code in C.

[rski]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

int main(){
        pid_t i;

        i=fork();

        if (i==0){
        while (1){
                printf("child process pid = %d, ppid=%d\n",(int)getpid(), (int)getppid());
                sleep(3);
        }

        }else{

                printf("parent has finished");


        }
        return 0;
}

It creates process which is addopted by init when parent has finished. Child process is working in unfinite loop (but you can of course change it).
Is that what you want?
