return 1;
}

{
printf("First child\n");
printf("my parent is %ld \n",getppid());
printf(" am %ld \n", getpid());


p2=fork(); //second child
if(p2<0)
{
printf("fork failed");
}
if(p2==0)
{
printf(" my parent is %ld\n",getppid() );
printf(" my id is %ld\n", getpid());
printf(" second child\n\n");
}
p3 =fork(); \\third child
if(p3<0)
{
printf("fork failed ");
}
if(p3==0)
{
printf(" third child\n");
printf(" my parent is %ld\n ", getppid());
printf(" my id is %ld \n\n", getpid());

exit(0);
}




in this code third child is executing two times and am not understanding y is this happening.
so if anybody can help me plz do so....
exit(0);

Place an exit() statement after printing your messages in the childs.
And .... please place your code within code brackets because it's almost unreadable.
