I understand that the PID is for the process identifier
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_identifier
But what I was wondering is :
Process IDs are usually allocated on a sequential basis, beginning at 0 and rising to a maximum value which varies from system to system. Once this limit is reached, allocation restarts at 300 and again increases.
"quote - wiki"
Under Linux, the maximum process ID is given by the pseudo-file /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max.
"quote - wiki"
So the PID for PID 1 is locked
so it should move to PID 2 open - should allow me to run a secondary yum command on terminal 2.
or should yum be run in parallel thus allowing multiple Yum commands?
