    Shahbaz Ali created a program using fork() and execvp() functions in Linux to demonstrate that Ubuntu does not support cascading termination. The program forked a child process that executed a new program printing credentials indefinitely, while the parent immediately terminated after printing it was the parent. This showed that even after the parent terminated, the child process continued running independently.

    Section E-1 Dr. Awais Qasim
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I am using the Ubuntu version of the Linux and I created a simple program in which fork() function was called
    to create a child process. And then after the execution of fork() a new executable was loaded into the child
    process using the execvp(). This new program (named test in my case) infinitely printed my credentials
    (Shahbaz-Ali – 401-BSCS-14 – SectionE1). Now, parent terminated immediately after printing to the screen that
    it is parent process.
    Now, even after the termination of parent process child process continued its execution i.e.
    continuously printing my name and roll number on the screen. This shows the Ubuntu doesn’t support
    Cascading Termination.
