  2. User identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_identifier

    User identifier. Unix-like operating systems identify a user by a value called a user identifier, often abbreviated to user ID or UID. The UID, along with the group identifier (GID) and other access control criteria, is used to determine which system resources a user can access. The password file maps textual user names to UIDs.

  3. systemd - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd

    systemd. systemd is a software suite that provides an array of system components for Linux [7] operating systems. The main aim is to unify service configuration and behavior across Linux distributions. [8] Its primary component is a "system and service manager" – an init system used to bootstrap user space and manage user processes.

  4. Process identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_identifier

    Process identifier. In computing, the process identifier (a.k.a. process ID or PID) is a number used by most operating system kernels —such as those of Unix, macOS and Windows —to uniquely identify an active process. This number may be used as a parameter in various function calls, allowing processes to be manipulated, such as adjusting the ...

  5. System identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_identification

    The field of system identification uses statistical methods to build mathematical models of dynamical systems from measured data. [1] System identification also includes the optimal design of experiments for efficiently generating informative data for fitting such models as well as model reduction. A common approach is to start from ...

  6. Comparison of Linux distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux...

    Technical. The table below shows the default file system, but many Linux distributions support some or all of ext2, ext3, ext4, Btrfs, ReiserFS, Reiser4, JFS, XFS, GFS2, OCFS2, and NILFS. It is possible to install Linux onto most of these file systems. The ext file systems, namely ext2, ext3, and ext4 are based on the original Linux file system ...

  7. Linux namespaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_namespaces

    A user namespace contains a mapping table converting user IDs from the container's point of view to the system's point of view. This allows, for example, the root user to have user ID 0 in the container but is actually treated as user ID 1,400,000 by the system for ownership checks. A similar table is used for group ID mappings and ownership ...

    Initiate such reviews as he deems appropriate of the operations of the MTA to identify areas in which performance might be improved and available funds used more effectively. Recommend remedial action to be taken by the MTA to overcome or correct operating or maintenance deficiencies or inefficiencies that he determines to exist.

  9. cgroups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups

    cgroups (abbreviated from control groups) is a Linux kernel feature that limits, accounts for, and isolates the resource usage (CPU, memory, disk I/O, etc. [1]) of a collection of processes . Engineers at Google started the work on this feature in 2006 under the name "process containers". [2] In late 2007, the nomenclature changed to "control ...
