Hi,

For this I have to close, the open file descriptors,
Does anybody know how to find out the number of open file descriptors ?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi All,
This thread is going to be a discussion basically bringing out more information from the experts on cron jobs and the associated file handles.
So, here is the question.
There is definitely a constant ' n ' as the maximum number of file handles alloted to a process ' p '.

What is the difference between a file descriptor and a semaphore?
My basic understanding is:
- a file descriptor is a small positive integer that the system uses instead of the file name to identify an open file or socket.
- a semaphore is a variable with a value that indicates the... (1 Reply)

popen
POPEN(3) 1 POPEN(3)popen - Opens process file pointerSYNOPSIS
resource popen (string $command, string $mode)
DESCRIPTION
Opens a pipe to a process executed by forking the command given by $command.
PARAMETERS
o $command
- The command
o $mode
- The mode
RETURN VALUES
Returns a file pointer identical to that returned by fopen(3), except that it is unidirectional (may only be used for reading or writing)
and must be closed with pclose(3). This pointer may be used with fgets(3), fgetss(3), and fwrite(3). When the mode is 'r', the returned
file pointer equals to the STDOUT of the command, when the mode is 'w', the returned file pointer equals to the STDIN of the command.
If an error occurs, returns FALSE.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
popen(3) example
<?php
$handle = popen("/bin/ls", "r");
?>
If the command to be executed could not be found, a valid resource is returned. This may seem odd, but makes sense; it allows you to
access any error message returned by the shell:
Example #2
popen(3) example
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
/* Add redirection so we can get stderr. */
$handle = popen('/path/to/executable 2>&1', 'r');
echo "'$handle'; " . gettype($handle) . "
";
$read = fread($handle, 2096);
echo $read;
pclose($handle);
?>
NOTES
Note
If you're looking for bi-directional support (two-way), use proc_open(3).
Note
When safe mode is enabled, you can only execute files within the safe_mode_exec_dir. For practical reasons, it is currently not
allowed to have .. components in the path to the executable.
Warning
With safe mode enabled, the command string is escaped with escapeshellcmd(3). Thus, echo y | echo x becomes echo y | echo x.
