13,253 PointsProgram vs session vs process
I'm hearing these words used quite often during Jim's lectures. However I just want to get a better understanding of what each of these words mean with regards to the console.
To me:
Session - Processes and programs are kind of like children of sessions. A session would contain certain programs and processes. Process - Something that is currently being run during a session. Program - An actual file? E.g. hello.txt
Please correct if I am wrong.
Thanks, James.

Except that "hello.txt" is not likely to be a program file. "Hello.exe" might be.
