Process Id generated by some other process

  I guess the UID should be root for the PID generated by OS
  a ps -ef should return all the current running processes and a ps -ef|grep for a specific UID.

  Yes but,Which process assigns this process id to processes? I am confused in that

  hmm
  it should be the init process ie the process ID 1
  a 'pstree' should give you the cascading structure of parent child processes triggered and then when you do a 'ps -ef|grep init' bingo!
  thats the root process which runs
  for eg:
  
  1.'pstree'
