I have the following code:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
system("ps -ef | grep myprocessname");
return 0; }
When I run this program it outputs the following list of running processes:
Code:
root 10279 10275 0 13:02 ? 00:00:00 myprocessname myvar1=value1 myvar2=value2
root 10341 10337 1 13:02 ? 00:00:00 myprocessname myvar1=value1 myvar2=value2
What I want to really do is instead of writing the output to screen I want to read the output and parse the various values value1, value2 etc. What is the best way to do this?

I have a process that forks, where the childs puts some data of random size and exits while the parent should get the data and does some manipulation.. here I have used a pipe for child to write the data and parent to read the data.. Child simply dumps the data, and the data is of any size even child and parent doesnt know.
I have used select in the parent to see whether there is any data coming on the reading end of the pipe.. if there is a data.. I copy into a buffer.. Im reading the data continusly when the child exits after closing the writing end of pipe. Parent gets blocked on the read part But my question is how parent know the other of pipe is closed when using the select call. In otherwords.. while using select in readfds, how would i know the other end has closed the pipe..

Anyone know the reason why a sleep( ) on a Redhat Linux OS would cause the system to indefinitely hang? It's doing this every 10 or so calls in my program and I have to press the reboot button on my computer. My program is reading from a UDP port that has messages sent to it 20 times per second. When I sleep I assume the internal UDP buffer is getting more and more filled.

i've written small tool in C which makes measurements on my router (OpenWrt White Russian).
It is working as a deamon. If the tool is started manually, everything works fine. If it is started per script on startup, the following system call doesn't work :
Code: sprintf(command,"/bin/cat /root/%s%s | /usr/bin/ssh -p2222 user(at)host -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa "/bin/cat >> result/%s%s"", apmac, source, apmac, dest);
rc = system (command); the returned rc in this case is 256.
first i thought it is a problems with the user rights for the tool, so i have added +s to it. but that didn't help. as i said, when the daemon is started by hand, the system call works fine.

I am making a library, but I am facing a strange problem while sending data over network using ethernet.
I am sending 39 bytes of the data from one server to slave application but some time slave receives 39 bytes and some time it receives 29 bytes. And when ever slave receives 29 bytes all the memories to which my pointers are pointing get changed. This problem is only when I am sending data from the server to slave, while sending data from slave to server I am facing no such issue.

In practice I have a script that call a java program that call a linux system command. The script if I run it, from a shell functions well,so it is not a java problem. The problem come out when i put this script in a crontab schedulation. The result in this case is that java do not execute the system command. I think it depends on crontab

we have a multi threaded program on Linux where one thread is waiting on poll() system call with event set to POLLIN, & another thread has closed the same socket fd (which is passed to poll) , but the poll() did not return, is this the expected behavior? From man page of poll we found that the poll should return POLLNVAL if the socket fd is closed, is my understanding correct or is there any bug in the poll()?In Solaris we observed that the poll system call is returning with POLLNVAL if the socket is closed.

I'm using gmake (v3.81) to build some c executables. As the first step in the process I run the files through a preprocessor (for embedded SQL). The preprocessor completes successfully, but the gmake reports an error and discontinues buiding the remaining dependencies...
make *** [myfile.c] Error 4
which (according to /usr/include/asm-generic/errno-base.h) means "interrupted System Call". My preprocessor doesn't raise any signals, so I'm not sure what's causing this error.

I'm trying to write a python script that will use the current user's name when interacting. Ex: when started, it should say "hello daweefolk" when I am logged in.
I've tried
Code:
username=os.system("echo $USER")

What is the correct code?

I'm trying to remember how to use the output of a nested Bash builtin call. So `which prog` gives me the path to the program, i'm interested in. Then I would like to get the directory path leading to that program and plug it into 'cd', so i end up in the directory containing the program.

I was wondering if there was a way to add a switch to a gcc/g++ call everytime. I have a few libraries that I need to compile for different processors. Each has a makefile which calls gcc to compile. Here is the best option I could come up with so far:Include a Makefile and define CC as gcc -mcpu=xxx.

There are examples everywhere about calling f77 subroutine from IDL, but I have not found any material about IDL calling fortran written in f90 way(free style). I tried the following example, but write the subroutines in free style. When I run the makefile, it gives an error 'undefined reference to main_'.
Code:
SUBROUTINE SUM_ARRAY(argc, argv) !Called by IDL
INTEGER*4 argc, argv(*) !Argc and Argv are integers
j = LOC(argc) !Obtains the number of arguments (argc)

I was working on adding a call system to my linux kernel.
I tried a lot of threads and .pdf files which explaining how to add a system call. Like :

I tried working with linux-2.6.18.1 , 2.6.33.1 , 2.6.28.1 and many many.
But , all of them are returning -1 as result ..
I prefer working on 2.6.28 kernel version or above like 2.6.33.1

I am searching for any system call similar to "ls" command we use in shell. My requirement is knowing the files and directories in curent working directory and process them based on there type. Here as of now I spawn another procees with system command like system
("sh ls -l | grep ^d | awk '{print $9}'").
Instead of this I want to use any system command where I can capture this information directly into my local character buffer. My opinion is that system calls will not spawn another process as a result less time it takes, another reason is once I use the system command again I need to capture the information to a local file then again read it into local buffer. I want to avoid the file manipulation here.

I am trying to ptrace a process and when the system call is 'cd' change directory,
the ptrace process is able to trap it by comparing it against "__NR__open" system call. When I try to read the name of the directory from ebx register using peek_data I am getting ".message" and not the directory name.
The same thing works fine when I am tracing a file open system call.
