Answer / Satyam Tiwari

The long-term scheduler, also known as the job scheduler, is a component of an operating system that determines which processes should be admitted into the system and placed into main memory for execution. It makes decisions about which processes to run based on various factors such as priority, resource requirements, and the current state of the system. The long-term scheduler is responsible for managing the overall flow of processes through the system and ensuring that resources are allocated in a fair and efficient manner.
