General :: Single Process Firefox (Disable Fork)
Aug 31, 2010
I would like to run versions of Mozilla Firefox 3.6.5+ as a single process, just as it was in versions 3.6.3 and prior. The reason is that, on Linux, I am running within proxychains - which doesn't bind to forked processes. Because the plugins in versions 3.6.5+ run in a forked process I can't use proxychains to redirect Flash streams. Is there a setting in modern versions of Firefox that allow me to run plugins in the main process?

I've a script that forks to another script.
The problem is that the child will not return to main process.
Main script "fork.sh"
Code:
The child process "smb_fork.sh"
Code:
when running it from the terminal "sh -x ./foork.sh"
Code:
My goal is via cron connect to ~100 remote winXP computers and download a single file. There fore I like to fork the process.

my code is very simple:
int pid, status;
printf("parent process id=%d, to call fork
",getpid());
if(pid=fork()<0)
[Code].....
but everytime I can only get two fork return pid=0. In parent process, the pid returned by fork() should be >0 and equal to the child process id.

Consider the following code:
Code:
int main()
{
int i=0;
pid_t pid;
for(i=0;i<2;i++)
[code]....
I get the following output:
Parent: chid_pid=4356 i=0 parent's pid=4355
This is child 4356 i=0
This is child 4357 i=1
[code]....
I can observe instead of two children(as I expect) processes there are three. This is because child process 4356 creates its own child. Why all the messages of the type "This is child X i=Y" are concentrated one under another? How exactly fork works? Is affected by the fact that I have a dual-core processor?

i got basic knowledge about creating a single child from a parent using fork(). But when it comes into creating multiple children, i am simply stuck. I am trying to create two processes from a parent and it would wait for both two processes to finish. my attempt is as below

I know that fork() copies the address space of the calling process. Say, however, i have a linked list allocated. Will the list be copied over to the child process's space? If so, i would have to free them in the child process as well as the parent process, correct? Or will the variables be copied but not be pointing to any valid address? Or would it just kind of not do anything?example:
Code:
struct ll_ex {
struct ll_ex * next;

Code:
int main()
{
int pi;
int i=10;
pid=fork();
[code]....
Q 1. The value of the variable pid returned by the fork() function will be greater than 0 in the parent process and equal to zero in the child process? but during forking, there values are exactly copied so what's went wrong here?
Q 2. "changes to the variable in one process is not reflected in the other process" why it is so? >> Even if we have variable i declared as a pointer or a global it wont make a difference.
Code:
int main()
{
int i, pid;
i=10;
printf("before fork i is %d
[code]....
Q. Through this program it is clear that both process is using the data from the same location, so where's the original value is residing when the child process is in execution.?

I have a doubt about signals in C programming. I have done this little program to explain it. It creates a child process with fork and, when the child ends, receives the SIGCHLD signal and wait for its termination.Ok, quite easy, BUT when I execute this code the SIGCHLD signal is received twice, first as an error (returns -1) and the second one to finish the child process.I don't understand the meaning of the first received signal. Why is it generated? Is the code wrong? (if you add the SIGINT and press Ctrl+C during the execution it also receives two signals instead of one)
Code: #include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
[code]....

Sometimes the website will show an alert box akin to "Are you sure you want to leave?" when you try to leave the site. Is it possible to disable this from happening, without using something like the NoScript extension?

I've read through tutorials on xrg.conf and xrandr but I have a hard time sorting it all out.I have two questions:You have installed a distro and you're looking at a desktop, but its off center on the monitor and its in low graphics mode, and possibly the wrong refresh rate. [ I've been in this situation with multiple distros, but lets use Ubuntu for the example.]1) How do you determine the actual current resolution?2) What are the steps -in order- to configure the (single) (desktop computer) display?

I have a Lucid Ubuntu installed on my home PC with two user accounts, AmHero and simple. I would like to have all internet access disabled when my kids login with the 'simple' userid. And yes, internet should work when I login using AmHero. I tried this:

..but this does not work and gives some errors on the terminal.
I can paste the errors, though I am not sure this will even work as I found this in an old post.

When Desktop Effects are enabled in KDE the window for Tecplot 'bleeds' through, as if ~40% transparent in various regions. Disabling desktop effects fixes this, however, I would like to keep them. Is there a way to disable desktop effects on a single window/application?

1) Write a C program using the fork() system call that that generates the Fibonacci sequence in the child process. The number of the sequence will be provided in the command line. For example, if 5 is provided, the first five numbers in the Fibonacci sequence will be output by the child process. Because the parent and child processes have their own copies of the data, it will be necessary for the child to output the sequence. Have the parent invoke the wait() call to wait for the child process to complete before exiting the program. Perform necessary error checking to ensure that a non-negative number is passed on the command line.
2) Repeat the preceding exercise, this time using the CreateProcess () in the Win32 API. In this instance, you will need to specify a separate program to be invoked from CreateProcess(). It is this separate program that will run as a child process outputting the Fibonacci sequence. Perform necessary error checking to ensure that a non-negative number is passed on the command line.i have done with Fibonacci sequence .but i dont know how to include tht fork() function and win32 api .any one can help to finish?

I am working on a project where I need to use the C language to generate a tree of processes. I understand how fork() works but I cant seem to get fork() to create two children from one parent and then have the two children create two more children.
Right now what i am seeing is a chain...where the parent creates one child...and that child creates another ONE child..etc.
Here is what I have so far:
for (i=0; i<n;i++){
if (childpid = fork()) break;
}
if (childpid == -1){

When a application is ran from the shell:fork() is calledexecve() is calledI know the shell stats the file to make sure the required permissions are allowed in the child shell. But I can not find this in the man fork. Nor can I find this in man execve. Which one of these processes/calls stats the binary to be ran?

I am quite confused about the following description on fork. Could you please explain it ?The child process shall have its own copy of the parent's file descriptors. Each of the child's file descriptors shall refer to the same open file description with the corresponding file descriptor of the parent.For example, I am opening a socket and then fork. Now, does the child have a separate socket or is shares it with the parent. Does I have any impact on using it in child?

I'm running F 13 and today's updates included updates to Xorg, so I logged out and back in to let them take effect. Ever since then, Firefox has been repeatedly crashing, especially on certain sites. I managed to get the crash reporting tool to report it to Bugzilla, but when I try to go back to add the bug report to this post, Firefox crashes, every single time. Has anybody else found this? If somebody can get to bugzilla.redhat.com and find the report (The email address I use there is joe@zeff.us if it helps.) I'd appreciate having it added as a response to this, so that others can find it and,

I am running F11 and I want to mount an FTP, but when I try to connect to an ftp server using Places -> Connect to Server, or the bookmarks I made I get an error that says 'Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/firefox-3.5/firefox" (No such file or directory)' and sometimes it mounts anyway, but most the time it doesn't, and it never connects to the folder I asked it to, I just have to open the mount and navigate to it. I figure this happened because Firefox upgraded to 3.5.1 and the folder is now /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.1/firefox, but I don't know how to update this so that it looks in the right location.

Iceweasel (basically same thing as Firefox) is running, with a couple of windows open.Most of the time I can issue ps -u myusername | grep fox and I get a process number for, I think firefox-bin. Something about firefox, anyway. But once in a while (like now), I'll need to kill Iceweasel because the sound is misbehaving, and ps -u myusername does not produce any lines containing "firefox". So there's no way to kill it! killall firefox-bin doesn't work either.
Like I said, weird. I tried ps -A and ps -e, but still no firefox listed. Also, top does not show any firefox process. How can this be? Oh yes, I did check for processes with "ice" in the name also.
