How can i create exactly one number of processes ?
For example i want to create l*n processes and i tried this:
But it creates more than l*n
Also, i want each child to run another x.c program with 3 command line arguments(row,column and segment_id) using execvp() , but i can't do it.
In the x.c i have to multiply 2 arrays(A[l][m],B[m][n] different dimensions) and save the result to C[l][n] array.
I have the A and B arrays in the main program and i created a C array in shared memory like this:
Any help ??
I am running HP-UX B.11.11.
I'm increasing a parameter for a database engine so that it uses more memory to buffer the disk drive (to speed up performance). I have over 5GB of memory not being used.
But when I try to start the DB with the increased buffer parameter I get told.

hi,
this is the problem: i want to swap a linked list between 4 processes (unrelated), is there any way i can do that just by sending a pointer to a structure?
//example
typedef struct node
{
int x;
char c;
struct node *next;
} node;
or i should send the items ( x,c ) by... (9 Replies)
I need to create a shared library to access an in memory DB. The DB is not huge, but big enough to make it cumbersome to carry around in every single process using the shared library. Luckily, it is pretty static information, so I don't need to worry much about synchronizing the data between... (12 Replies)
I am writing a shared library in Linux (but compatible with other UNIXes) and I want to allow multiple instances to share a piece of memory -- 1 byte is enough. What's the "best" way to do this? I want to optimize for speed and portability.
Obviously, I'll have to worry about mutual exclusion. (0 Replies)
Hello ,
I would like to know how to check if a given process id belongs to particualr shared memory segment .
Please help
Thanks in advance (3 Replies)
Is there some way to tell what processes are attached to a shared memory segment? We have a system on which I perform "icps -ma" and there are several segments pending deletion having numerous processes attached to them and I can't tell what processes they are. Neither the creator's pid nor last... (7 Replies)
QUESTION: How do I run processes in parallel, so that the counter (in counter.txt) would vary in value (instead of just "0" and "1")? That is, how to not sequentially run inc.sh and dec.sh?
The shared counter (a single number starting as 0) is in a file counter.txt.
counter.sh is (supposed to... (2 Replies)

Hello.
I am new to this forum and I would like to ask for advice about low level POSIX programming.
I have to implement a POSIX compliant C shared library.
A file will have some variables and the shared library will have some functions which need those variables.
There is one special... (5 Replies)

killall5
KILLALL5(8) Linux System Administrator's Manual KILLALL5(8)NAME
killall5 -- send a signal to all processes.
SYNOPSIS
killall5 -signalnumber [-o omitpid[,omitpid..]] [-o omitpid[,omitpid..]..]
DESCRIPTION
killall5 is the SystemV killall command. It sends a signal to all processes except kernel threads and the processes in its own session, so
it won't kill the shell that is running the script it was called from. Its primary (only) use is in the rc scripts found in the /etc/init.d
directory.
OPTIONS -o omitpid
Tells killall5 to omit processes with that process id.
NOTES
killall5 can also be invoked as pidof, which is simply a (symbolic) link to the killall5 program.
EXIT STATUS
The program return zero if it killed processes. It return 2 if no process were killed, and 1 if it was unable to find any processes
(/proc/ is missing).
