In distributed systems which use RPC¹, If a failed process sent a request before failing, the receiver of this request becomes an orphan process and must roll back to undo the effects of receiving the message. There are two types of orphan: on of them mostly called "crash- orphan" in witch client crashes. Another which causes orphan process is called abort-orphan in which parent?s process is aborted [1]. Orphans are undesirable because they waste system resources and because may make inconsistent data [2]. In this paper initially we present two novel methods for orphan detection. Finally we compare our new methods with the older ones.
