No question on this issue. Regards the spawned sub process, is there a way to view the tree of the process, like ptree in solaris?

Linux will always use all available memory, but it might prefer to replace an unused page with a page used for caching, for example. I don't know off the top of my head if there's a way to distinguish between the cases of replacing a page by another process page and replacing it by a cache page. What is the underline question?
