Re^2: Get PID of child threads by TS90 (Novice) on Apr 03, 2017 at 22:14 UTC
This is the output from `top` and `htop`. Each thread has it's own PID according to those: $ top -Hbn1 \| grep Control 16330 root 20 0 200444 74912 5776 S 5.5 7.9 0:06.74 Control.pl 16316 root 20 0 200444 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:02.23 Control.pl 16322 root 20 0 200444 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:00.00 Control.pl 16323 root 20 0 200444 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:00.69 Control.pl 16324 root 20 0 200444 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:01.61 Control.pl 16325 root 20 0 200444 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:00.70 Control.pl 16326 root 20 0 200444 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:01.60 Control.pl 16327 root 20 0 200444 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:00.00 Control.pl 16329 root 20 0 200444 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:00.08 Control.pl $ htop 16312 root 20 0 6184 3024 2716 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.02 │ │ └─ sudo ./Control.pl 16316 root 20 0 195M 74912 5776 S 3.3 7.9 0:09.58 │ │ └─ /usr/bin/perl ./Control.pl 16330 root 20 0 195M 74912 5776 S 2.3 7.9 0:04.29 │ │ ├─ /usr/bin/perl ./Control.pl 16329 root 20 0 195M 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:00.05 │ │ ├─ /usr/bin/perl ./Control.pl 16327 root 20 0 195M 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:00.00 │ │ ├─ /usr/bin/perl ./Control.pl 16326 root 20 0 195M 74912 5776 S 0.5 7.9 0:01.03 │ │ ├─ /usr/bin/perl ./Control.pl 16325 root 20 0 195M 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:00.45 │ │ ├─ /usr/bin/perl ./Control.pl 16324 root 20 0 195M 74912 5776 S 0.5 7.9 0:01.04 │ │ ├─ /usr/bin/perl ./Control.pl 16323 root 20 0 195M 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:00.44 │ │ ├─ /usr/bin/perl ./Control.pl 16322 root 20 0 195M 74912 5776 S 0.0 7.9 0:00.00 │ │ └─ /usr/bin/perl ./Control.pl	[reply] [d/l] [select]

"Each thread has it's own PID according to those" Incorrect. Each thread has it's own ID given by something else.	[reply]

As a curious observer on this thread, could you (or someone) provide examples on when a thread would have a pid, and when it wouldn't?	[reply]
