i started reading a book beginning linux programming and it has a chapter on processes. it is a good book and provides code examples, but i would like to practice more of it. i'm new to processes an threads. can anyone recommend any decent exercises (preferably with solutions so i could check myself) to practice the following functions:

execl(), execlp(), execle() (and other exec functions)
system()
fork()
wait()
waitpid()
signal()
alarm()
sigaction()
sigemptyset()

i understand that for some people these are very obvious things but i'm trying to learn more about linux and for me practicing is the best thing.

many thanks in advance
