GitHub Submission Link: git@github.com:mks65/16_forkin.git
Write a c program that does the following:
- Forks off 2 child processes
- Child process instructions:
- At the start print its pid
- Sleep for a random number of seconds in the range [2, 5]
- Each child should sleep for a (potentially) different amount of seconds
- At the end print a message that it is finished
- Parent process instructions
- Before forking, print out some initial message
- After the fork, wait for any child to finish
- Once a child has finished, print out the pid of the completed child as well as how many seconds it was asleep for.
- Do not run any kind of timer, think about how the child could send this information back to the parent.
- Print a message that the parent is done and then end the program
- The other child might still be running, that’s ok.
