I have this script test.sh
#!/bin/bash
( cd . && sleep 5000 )
I execute with ./test.sh &
and then run ps lax | grep test.sh
I now have 2 processes running...
0 1000 6883 6600 20 0 10600 1332 - S pts/2 0:00 /bin/bash ./test.sh
1 1000 6884 6883 20 0 10604 704 - S pts/2 0:00 /bin/bash ./test.sh
- Why do I have two processes running and where does the second process come from?
- Why don't I have two processes if I remove the
cd ".."
from the command?
Thanks for any explanation, I just don't get it and I think I'm lacking some basics here... or is this some vodoo? ;)
