Shell常识

. DOT and Subshell

. (dot) runs a shell script in the current environment and then returns. Normally, the shell runs a command file in a subshell so that changes to the environment by such commands as cd, set, and trap are local to the command file. The . (dot) command circumvents this feature. 

A subshell does not inherit the environment variables from parent process.

Fork - system call
fork() creates a new process by duplicating the calling process. The new process, referred to as the child, is an exact duplicate of the calling process. However, child process has its own process id.

&

The Bash & (ampersand) is a builtin control operator used to fork processes. From the Bash man page, "If a command is terminated by the control operator &, the shell executes the command in the background in a subshell".

$BASHPID

Process ID of the current instance of Bash. This is not the same as the $$ variable, but it often gives the same result.

[oracle@odilab ~]$ echo $BASHPID
2540

$BASH_VERSION

The version of Bash installed on the system

[oracle@odilab ~]$ echo $BASH_VERSION
4.1.2(1)-release
