View 1 RepliesI want to check whether a USB is plugged in its slot from a C program. I want to make use of /proc interface for the same. During my reading i found that /proc/bus/usb/devices will tell how many USB devices are currently present.
So whether i can open this file and use stat call to identify whether the size is 0. If size is 0, i can assume no USB present. Else i can assume USB is present.
Whether my understanding correct. If USB inserted, how can i check the folders present in the USB stick.

The OS is ubuntu and I use Netbeans 7.0 with Glassfish 3.1 web server.The program executes but it does not open and write into a specified file in a specified folder. The same C++ program compiled under Windows opens and writes this file.How can I solve this problem in Linux?

write a C program to detect whether the Ethernet cable is plugged or unplugged. I found out by using a command "nm-tool" in Linux terminal will show me whether a Ethernet cable is plugged or not. If Ethernet cable is plugged, in the device part of eth0, the Hardware Link of Wired Settings will indicate a "yes" and "no" if no Ethernet cable. Hence, in my previous code, I use one function called popen to read the state as shown below:

However, now my project wish to not use the NetworkManager (where the "nm-tool" command comes from). And this gives me trouble to detect the Ethernet cable. So is there any other method for me to detect the Ethernet cable in C programming?

I need to record Tx/Rx bw in my c program at defined intervals. I am aware that there a bunch of available tools but I need a minimal version with only Tx/Rx bw with no other details. I have tried the tool bwm-ng which mostly serves my purpose but either it runs continuously in the console or saves result in html file. It does not have any options to save the result in txt file which could have been easy to parse.
Is there any other simple way to record Tx/Rx bw in a program?(without using tools from /proc/net/ or any) I am using Mandriva Linux 2.6.31.5.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run my code repeatedly in a loop about 50 times for timing measurement. I have C code running on ubuntu 8 on a single processor, Intel x86. My code is something like this
Code:
for (loop =0;loop<=50;loop++)
{
// other operations
pDir = opendir("/proc");
while (pDir == NULL)

After about 28-29 times the loop stops executing. I initially had a return -1 if I got pDir == NULL. That caused my program to exit, and I dont want that. Any clues on why this happens, and how I can circumvent this?
I'm trying to retrieve a single string or value from /proc/cpuinfo, but when I try to extract the model (not the model name) the model name comes with it, also it likes to print it twice...

echo $model
All i want this to do is spit out the model number once. (I need to pass it to another script)
I am trying to read the /proc/net/tcp6 file of a huge server (chat server) for monitoring the tcp6 connection states.
My server's tcp6 file has more than 26000 lines. For monitoring the server connections, my monitoring tool has to read the /proc/net/tcp6 file quickly in a regular interval (5 secs) and process. Presently it takes minimum 6-7 seconds for reading the whole file.
My tool can able to read the normal file (26,000 lines) less than 1 second, but it is not possible to read the same size of proc file.
I have 2 questions:
1) Why proc file takes more read time than normal file?
2) Is there any way to read the /proc/net/tcp6 file more quickly?
I plug a USB device, it gets a /dev entry, e.g. sdf, i mount its filesystem, then some program opens a file on this filesystem. I unplug this device, its /dev entry disappears, but if i replug this device again, it gets another name - sdg.
How can i force the program to close the file so the filesystem is ready to be unmounted without using "lazy unmount" to release the device name, BUT so that the program doesn't crash after trying to make I/O to this file, and, of course, without having to kill the program?
I have not been able to write bash to use a PID file to ensure no other instance of the same script is running! All three methods I can think of to see if the PID in the PID file is another instance of the script make the script exit with a return code of 1 but the same commands run at the command prompt work as expected.
The first attempt was:
Code:
The first attempted workaround was:
Code:
The second attempted workaround (with debug to make the following command prompt copy and paste meaningful) was:
Code:
Here's the command prompt session, testing with a stale PID file and then manually running the problem command and it behaving as expected:
Code:
This on Slackware64 13.1 which has bash 4.1.7.
In desperation I tried rebooting but the behaviour was the same.
I'm trying to make a program to simulate a parabolic movement, so i've added 2 entries, one for the initial velocity and other for the angle, anyway you probably don't care about that xD what i want is to take the number entered in the entry and put it in a variable to do the math, and then show everything in a dialog or something. how do i do that?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have to add a new interrupt framework to the kernel (INT 81h). To add the interface descriptor to INT 81h I have to write to the IDT entry 81h. There are some functions of the kernel that can do this task but they can not be used in a module. So I will now do a patch to the kernel and don't know where to start.
Where is INT 80h interface descriptor written to the IDT? - So I could write it maybe the same way in the same function. Which GTD entry is used to write to the IDT (1, 2, 3 or ...) ? - So I can do some debugging.
I created a class which has to return an array. My problem is I need to return 3 entries per record for example:
Code:
array(
"2009-06-13", "John", "Doe";
"2009-06-13", "Paul", "Simon";
"2009-06-12", "Frank", "Herbert";
);
Can this be done? What is the syntax? Where is the documentation? If this can't be done, How would you return this to a class without using a DB?

I need to create and access a very large number of directories (and by large I mean millions). Each directory's name consists only of numbers, which are incremented every time a new directory is created (so there will be directory 1, 2, and so on).Of course I could just dump all these directories under the same parent directory, but I reckon I would run into filesystem limits. Moreover, I presume that entry lookup is not a O(1) operation, which means that lookup does not scale well.
One solution is to use some sort of prefix tree for storing the data. In this scheme, the data for directory "1234" would actually be stored in "/1/2/3/4".This solution has the advantage that each subtree never has more than 10 entries, but the disadvantage of requiring as many individual lookups as the length of the path.There are also intermediate solutions: using a maximum of 100 entries per directory, "1234" would become "/12/34", per example.In order to choose the best scheme, I must know more about the scalability of directory lookup under Linux. What's the maximum reasonable number of entries for a directory before lookup becomes too slow? Does someone know exactly what are the limitations of the algorithm used for directory lookup?
