what is the difference between fork() & exec()?
fork() creates a new child process and subsequently a new
entry in process table is made for the new process.
exec(), if successful, replaces the existing text segnent
of the process with that of new process. and hence, the old
process does not exists in the system any more. i dont
think, any new entry is created in the process table after
successful exec().
