Additional Operating System Functions


Additional functions exist not for helping the user, but rather for ensuring efficient system operations.
Resource allocation – allocating resources to multiple users or multiple jobs running at the same time.
Accounting – keep track of and record which users use how much and what kinds of computer resources for account billing or for accumulating usage statistics.
Protection – ensuring that all access to system resources is controlled.
