Memory & Resource Management

Problems with memory allocation, leaks, and system resource utilization

[1 examples] Zombie process Finished processes incorrectly show as active, causing resource leaks. resource managementosdebugging	1 examples
[5 examples] Orphaned process Process continues running after parent process ends, consuming resources. resource managementosstate	5 examples
