I executed this program in college’s Computer Lab and all the computer got hanged and after 1 or 2 mins a Global message was displayed that “Linux server is going to Reboot”.

Yeah...thats kind of what a fork bomb can do, but not necessarily if some basic countermeasures are in place. Maybe the admins will limit the number of processes per user in the future.

Since nobody knew what had happened I could get away from that situation. Hope that my lab faculty don’t read this Article.

What an intellectual giant.
