Abstract
The Solaris MC distributed operating system provides a single-system
image across a cluster of nodes, including distributed process
management. It supports remote signals, waits across nodes, remote
execution, and a distributed /proc pseudo file system. Process
management in Solaris MC is implemented through an object-oriented
interface to the process system. This paper has three main goals: it
illustrates how an existing UNIX operating system kernel can be extended
to provide distributed process support, it provides interfaces that may
be useful for general access to the kernel's process activity, and it
gives experience with object-oriented programming in a commercial
kernel.
