I have read that when Process A start Process B, then Process B will inherit Process A's Process Group ID.
I tested this by making bash execute the cat program, but I found out that bash and cat had two different Process Group ID, why is that?
The sid (session id) should be consistent.
When bash runs a command, it generally assigns the PGID to the first process. If its a pipeline, all the piped commands have the same PGID as the first process.
bashfiddles with the process group for job control. unix.stackexchange.com/questions/363126/… – thrig May 16 '17 at 21:17
