Re: [uml-user] understanding child process

[Lakshmipathi.G <lak...@gm...>]

Thanks for the details. I checked it by creating 5 new process (sleep
120 &) while running pstree from host. Nice, didn't know that we can
control(kill) UML process from host too.

I test ran a fork-bomb inside UML, it crashed the host. Is that
expected behavior? Is there a way to prevent this?
