We have chosen the lpd process as our monitored object. With success(hopefully) the lpd process of LPRng will be a self stabilized process :).
We need some help understanding the lpd mechanism, what does it do when a print job comes in (fork, i/o, etc.).
As for our minimal understanding so far, there is the main listener process, who forks a son, which also forks a son on an incoming job. What are they suppose to do, we still don't know.
We will appreciate any help,
Thanks,
Shlomi & Omri

We are 2 CS students, and we are doing our final project: a monitoring system, as a self stabilizing method.
