Sometimes my calculated PPID is not the actual PPID
Issue
I have a script which is calculating the parent PID of a process
PPID_1=`expr $PPID - 1`
echo "PPID -> $PPID"
echo "PPID_1 -> $PPID_1"
SOMETIMES, the PPID outputted during remote login is not equal the PID confirmed from "ps" output,
is it normal?
