At first i retrieve the information from fork.c in do_fork() and exit.x in do_exit() but the problem it showed me is that the information of the task at the beginnig and at the end(termination) but the process may be in different states at different moment in between these two extremes(start -- end) So how to know that . I can run for_each process after certain interval of time , but rather than using timer i thought to set a value or call the function (for_each_process) whenever sheduling occurs(that is some process is going to sleep and some are awakening) that is i am getting some changes in the task list after that.. is my approch is correct ? or should i implement timer ? plz help me i am sorry if some of my concepts are wrong as i am new to kernel and would be obliged if you correct me thank for your help sounak ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
