The term ‘Process’ refers to the piece of code which is currently in execution. The fork () is a function which can be used in the C code to start a new process as a ‘Child process’. The process or the code which is in execution which makes a call to the function fork () is called the ‘Parent process’ and the new process created by the fork () is called a ‘Child process’. The ‘Parent process’ and the ‘Child process’ executes parallel (high speed processor makes it feel like parallel processing) and independently and thus achieves multi-tasking. The fork () most of the time uses the execve () function to create a new process as Child. In this project the Raspberrypi board is loaded with Ubuntu and is remotely accessed using VNC. The Raspberrypi board is also connected to the internet.  

In an operating system, the user can write so many codes and made them executable and then run each of them as background processes to achieve multi-tasking. The another easy method to achieve the multitasking is using a Shell script in which all the commands to execute the codes as background process are scripted into, but it is not a proper method since the user can have little control over the processes which are initiated by the Shell script.The same thing can be done by executing a single C code in which the system () function opens up a new Shell and pass the commands to them. Since it may open up a new Shell for executing each and every process the better method is to use execve () function in the code which itself can execute a new process.
