process control
Unix configuration is the process of tailoring a freshly installed version of Unix to your particular environment. Each Unix system may do that differently.
Unix is inherently portable; this means that a program, script, or process may be moved from Unix system to Unix system with little effort or change (hence - portable).

Any Linux/Unix process that runs in the background is called a 'daemon' process. The word derives from the Greek meaning "worker".
Usually any orphaned process is owned by the 'init' process (process #1)
BG is a command on Unix and Unix-like operating systems to run a job(process) asynchronously in the background.
Are u talking abt the KErnal process? A program under execution is called process. All processes in UNIX are created using the fork() system call. rest of the question not clear.. SiddharthGanguly
In Unix (and Linux) this is known as "forking".
The UNIX flavor developed by AT&T is known as System V (or SysV). Introduced in the late 1980s, System V became one of the most influential versions of UNIX, providing a foundation for many subsequent UNIX-like operating systems. It introduced features such as the System V init process and the System V IPC (Inter-Process Communication) mechanisms.

Unix was developed primarily using the C language; there may be a small amount of assembler/machine code used in the boot process as well.
