Portable Applications
Hello
Im stuck with a project on converting existing applications in to their portable versions, What i mean is that i want an application to run on a Linux OS without the need of actually installing the application on that machine. My preffered OS is fedora as it is used on most machines in my college. any methods an links any sort of help will be appriciated. Also this has to be done by directly using available software on the net, Basically all the stuff has to be done by me without using softwares in which my contribution will be null, gcc scripts, unix scripts anything will b helpful.
cheers
P.S. This is a project for my course Operating systems.

Hi. I am looking for a way to write C++ code that will kill a process, and works just the same way in both Unix and Windows. For my particular situation, it cannot be hundreds of lines of code, either. Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this.

IPCS(1) Linux Programmer's Manual IPCS(1)
NAME
ipcs - provide information on ipc facilities
SYNOPSIS
ipcs [-asmq] [-tclup]
ipcs [-smq] -i id
ipcs -h
DESCRIPTION
ipcs provides information on the ipc facilities for which the calling process has read access.
The -i option allows a specific resource id to be specified. Only information on this id will be printed.
Resources may be specified as follows:
-m shared memory segments
-q message queues
-s semaphore arrays
-a all (this is the default)
The output format may be specified as follows:
-t time
-p pid
-c creator
-l limits
-u summary
SEE ALSO
ipcrm(1), ipcmk(1)
CONFORMING TO
The Linux ipcs utility is not fully compatible to the POSIX ipcs utility. The Linux version does not support the -b and -o options, but
does support the -l and -u options not defined by POSIX. The portable application shall not use the -a, -b, -o, -l, and -u options.

AVAILABILITY
The ipcs command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
