Beyond PS
Is there a way to determine precisely what process created another process? For example: Process A forks creating process B and then process B creates a process of its own, process C. If I type in ps -j all three processes will have the same Group ID (presumably the PID from process A). Is there any way to identify that process C was spawned by process B as opposed to A?
