Operating Systems Solaris Solaris 10 /proc making filesystem full Post 302323658 by forsnick on Monday 8th of June 2009 04:25:12 PM

Um, rebooting and making "/proc going to normal again" is flawed reasoning and not sound advice technically. /proc appears to grow larger as your machine runs because it contains a representation of running applications memory (NOT DISK) space. So, rebooting makes /proc smaller because you're no longer running those applications. As soon as you start running applications again, /proc will grow as memory gets addressed. This is normal behavior!

>>> /proc has nothing whatsoever to do with disk space. <<<

Side note: don't reboot Unix machines arbitrarily, it makes Unix admins sad.

Changing fname in /proc filesystem

I wrote a wrapper (call it prog1) around another program (call it prog2) for security purposes. When prog1 launches prog2 it sets the argv value to be "prog1" so that "prog2" does not show up when you use the "ps" command. Howerver, if you use the option "-o fname" with "ps" then the file name for... (3 Replies)

Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler(3)			       Tk Library Procedures				  Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler(3)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler, Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler - associate procedure callback with ClientMessage type X events SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h> Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler(proc) Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler(proc) ARGUMENTS
Tk_ClientMessageProc *proc (in) Procedure to invoke whenever a ClientMessage X event occurs on any display. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler arranges for proc to be invoked in the future whenever a ClientMessage X event occurs that is not handled by WM_PROTOCOL. Tk_CreateClientMessageHandler is intended for use by applications which need to watch X ClientMessage events, such as drag and drop applications. The callback to proc will be made by Tk_HandleEvent; this mechanism only works in programs that dispatch events through Tk_HandleEvent (or through other Tk procedures that call Tk_HandleEvent, such as Tk_DoOneEvent or Tk_MainLoop). Proc should have arguments and result that match the type Tk_ClientMessageProc: typedef int Tk_ClientMessageProc( Tk_Window tkwin, XEvent *eventPtr); The tkwin parameter to proc is the Tk window which is associated with this event. EventPtr is a pointer to the X event. Whenever an X ClientMessage event is processed by Tk_HandleEvent, the proc is called if it was not handled as a WM_PROTOCOL. The return value from proc is normally 0. A non-zero return value indicates that the event is not to be handled further; that is, proc has done all processing that is to be allowed for the event. If there are multiple ClientMessage event handlers, each one is called for each event, in the order in which they were established. Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler may be called to delete a previously-created ClientMessage event handler: it deletes each handler it finds that matches the proc argument. If no such handler exists, then Tk_DeleteClientMessageHandler returns without doing anything. Although Tk supports it, it's probably a bad idea to have more than one callback with the same proc argument. KEYWORDS
