In the code examples given in this book, the screen display 

started pid

along with the corresponding incremented number, is not given. In the example below, this means that the 'started pid' and its incremental number, have been omitted from the text.

host% rsh 
<target> ls  started pid =
pid_number

These incrementals have been removed from code examples for simplicity and consistency.
