Thanks. That was my 2nd long-term overseas mobilization, and as you well know, coming home is always good -- even after visits to my favorite overseas vacation spots. My biggest fight right now is just the extreme physical exhaustion... and the bump in the road that makes a passing truck make a noise sound like a mortar impacting about 500m away. I'm still on that old hyper-alertness thing, but fortunately, it's fading. I haven't asked, "did you hear that?" in over a week now. ;-)

Or it means that the first process never says "i'm finished, you can swap me out". There's no mechanism for that, other than the sleep(2) system call. The other ways that the process gives up

What you're thinking of is the cooperative multi-tasking model (pre OS X Macs would be a good example).
I suggest you get "The Design of the Unix Operating System". I believe the author's name is Maurice J. Bach.
Yes, here we go:

BS6/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200475812&sr=8-2>
$15.00 is an excellant price. My copy of the previous edition cost by around $85.00
While this is the Unix operating system, not Linux, the general principles of the process scheduler still appply, because the Unix process scheduler is the definition of the expected behavior -- therefore, Linux imitates it almost exactly (except that Linux can have real-time processes, and circa 1990 Unix did not).
It's not a desktop, it's just a web server. Where are you, that
you're
30 miles from deaborn? Just curious I'm in Royal Oak.

I know the feeling. It took me a long time to not jump when I heard a gunshot. Even nail guns would set me on edge. You hear every unusual sound and see the anything that looks out of place. Bill Anderson WW7BA Aaron Kulkis wrote:
