int main(int argc, char *argcv[])
{
int val;
val =fork();
if(val==0){
printf("Child process running\n");
printf("Child:%d PID:%d\n",val,getpid());
val=fork();
if(val==0){
printf("Grand child created\n");
printf("Grand child:%d PID:%d\n",val,getpid());
}
}
else if(val>0){
printf("Parent process running\n");
printf("Parent:%d PID:%d\n",val,getpid());
}
else{
