Hi,

I have a process running on a dual processor machine. It basically 
forks() itself and launches another process, which is basically run in 
parallel on the second processor to utilize the two processors. I also 
have another process that does the same thing using light-weight 
processes (threads - pthread). How can I tell what  'slave' processes 
belong to what 'master' process in the first case where I fork() another 
process, as well as the second case where I have another thread spawned. 
Is there something similar to the 'ps' command which can tell me such 
info? I am running Redhat 9.0. Thanks


Steve
