Good afternoon, I was wondering what the constant MAX_RUNNING_PROCESSES actually means. Would it be the maximum number of processes that a single instance of the project program can create? Or would it be the maximum number of processes running at a particular time at which the program is being run? I was wondering about this because, if we were to manipulate a single command with only the spawn system call, we would be able to create infinite processes, and thus wouldn't this require dynamic memory allocation? I tried this in the sample solution and the output stopped after a large number of lines were printed to the screen. Are we able to assume that in the project this won't occur and the maximum number of total processes that a spawn system call can spawn is this constant MAX_RUNNING_PROCESSES? Thank you
