Why are PID numbers useful when you run processes in the background?
Process IDs are useful for backgrounded processes in cases where you need to either bring it into the foreground, send it a signal, or terminate/kill it. The reason for this is it's often not a good idea to identify a process by its program name lest there be multiple instances and you wish to address one of them. Process names are hardly unique, but running process IDs are. Thus when trying to background a process it's a good idea to make note of its PID.
Daemons, on the other hand, don't necessarily require you to track its PID, as they are managed by the system's init system. If a daemon is misbehaving or needs management intervention by you, you can, as root, simply ask init, systemd, or whatever your distribution uses to pause or stop the daemon for a moment. Often when changing a daemon's configuration you use your init system to restart the daemon so it runs on the new config.
Do not that daemons and even some other background processes are only under the control of root, or even more extremely, the kernel in kernel space, and you might not be able to do anything with them.

Which versions of Apache Tomcat are compatible with Solaris 10?
Any version of Apache Tomcat should be able to run on Solaris 10. The source is designed to be easily ported to multiple Unix and Unix-like platforms, and even if it weren't, Solaris 10 on x86 offers Linux x86 binary emulation.
What is block special in unix?
In every Unix-like operating systems device files are used as interface to device drivers. Every device is represented in file system with a special file, these special files are called as Device Files.
There are two standard types of device files: character special and block special.
Character special files are used to interface character devices. Character devices transfer data in terms of character. Example of character devices mice, serial modems.
Block special files are used to interface block devices. Block devices transfer data interms of blocks. Example of block devices hard disks, CD-ROMs.
The ".exe" file extension is exclusive to Microsoft products, including MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. While Solaris does have "executable" files, there is no requirement for those files to have an ".exe" extension. Technically speaking, ".exe" programs run only on Microsoft-based operating systems. Therefore, Solaris does not run ".exe" files.
How is a job run periodically in unix system?
If you want a job to run only once in the future use the 'at' command.
For more than a one-time execution, use the 'cron' facility with the 'crontab' command to create the schedule. Cron executions are specified one per line, with the following fields:
field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
The use of an asterisk '*' indicates all possible values. Ranges may be used as well.
An example would be:
15,30 10-12 * 12 * myjob.ksh
Which would run every 15 and 30 minutes past the hour, between 10 a.m. and noon, any day of the month in December on any day of the week, with the job called 'myjob.ksh'

tar extension can more or less be compared to zip: a tarball (this is the name of a "tar extension'ed file") is used to group file (and eventually folders of files).

In short, such drivers may work for both Windows and/or Unix flavors.
