Research, Practice (hands-on), and document Process Control and Management in a modern day operating system.
Discover and Practice how to manage process running in a Linux environment. For this assignment you will need to obtain a copy of a Linux distribution. There are several popular distributions that are freely available from sites such as Linux.com. Your objective is to:
A. Determine the processes that are running,
B. How to start a new process and assign it a priority,
C. How to change the priority of a process that is currently running.
Students need to include screen shots of their systems in respect to A, B and C and include a brief summary for each task.
Also, discuss the scheduling algorithm used in the Linux operating system. In a separate section, do some research on the Microsoft Windows 7 (or Windows 10) operating system, specifically on:
A. How to determine the processes that are running,
B. How to start a new process and assign it a priority,
C. How to change the priority of a process that is currently running. Provide a 2 to 3 paragraph summary of you findings, including a few illustrations if they provide added value to your summarization. Also discuss the scheduling algorithm used in the Windows operating system.
