Hi i'm a Computer Science student at Dalhousie University in Halifax, = Nova Scotia, Canada, and i am doing a paper on FreeBSD, and i was = wondering if someone could help answer a couple questions on processes = for me? =20 o What states do processes move through? o How does the OS execute? (within the context of user = processes.. as a separate process?) o How are new processes created? Who can create them? o What are the most important scheduling criteria for this OS? o How does the short-term scheduler select the next process to = place in the CPU? What's the selection function? What's the decision = mode? o Is there a single ready queue or multiple ready queues? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks -Alan Tek
