Best Answer

The PID number can be used to broadly determine when the application was started. A process with a lower PID number was probably started before a process with a higher number. PID numbers are recycled once the maximum number has been reached, so it isn't a totally reliable method, but Linux has a default of 32,768 unique process IDs and can support over 4 million, so its relatively unlikely to roll over unless the system is a busy server or has been up for several weeks.

Qualities of a Remote Database Administrator?

A remote database administrator is responsible for overseeing data systems of a company. These data systems may contain financial information of customers, or they may contain computer system information. In addition to overseeing databases, a remote database administrator is responsible for maintaining them and preventing viruses from attacking them. The best quality a remote database administrator can have is a propensity for organization. A database administrator must have a natural flair for being organized and using that skill to keep information organized. A business may simply hand over thousands of documents of information and ask a database administrator to organize the information. Without organizational skills, this task is nearly impossible. A database administrator must know how to organize large amounts of information as efficiently as possible.
