Dear all,
suppose that I start a process (named "father"). "father" starts in turns a process called "child" with an execv call (after a fork). In this way "father" will be notified if "chlid" crashes (SIGCHILD mechanism). The problem is:
if "father" crashes, how can I do to be recreate a... (1 Reply)

Hello.
I have a global function name func1() that I am sourcing in from script A. I call the function from script B. Is there a way to find out which script called func1() dynamically so that the func1() can report it in the event there are errors?
Thanks (2 Replies)

All,
Ok...so I know I *should* be able to control a process's stdin and stdout from the parent by creating pipes and then dup'ing them in the child. And, this works with all "normal" programs that I've tried. Unfortunately, I want to intercept the stdin/out of the scp application and it seems... (9 Replies)
I have a .NET application that remotely starts, stops, and gets status of Windows services and scheduled tasks. I would like to add the capability of starting, stopping, and getting status of remote AIX applications also. Based on some preliminary research, one option may be to use 3rd party .NET...

I am trying to implement the below using Ksh script on a Lx machine.
There is a file(input_file) with 100K records. For each of these records, certain script(process_rec) needs to be called with the record as input. Sequential processing is time-consuming and parallel processing would eat up... (2 Replies)
is there a universal way of getting the children of a particular process? i'm looking for a solution that works across different OSes...linux, aix, sunos, hpux.

i want to be able to specify a process... (2 Replies)

isaexec
isaexec(3C) Standard C Library Functions isaexec(3C)NAME
isaexec - invoke isa-specific executable
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int isaexec(const char *path, char *const argv[], char *const envp[]);
DESCRIPTION
The isaexec() function takes the path specified as path and breaks it into directory and file name components. It enquires from the running
system the list of supported instruction set architectures; see isalist(5). The function traverses the list for an executable file in named
subdirectories of the original directory. When such a file is located, execve() is invoked with argv[] and envp[]. See exec(2).
RETURN VALUES
If no file is located, isaexec() returns ENOENT. Other return values are the same as for execve().
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Example of isaexec() function.
On a system whose isalist is
sparcv7 sparc
the program
int
main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])
{
return (isaexec("/bin/thing", argv, envp));
}
will look first for an executable file named /bin/sparcv7/thing, then for an executable file named /bin/sparc/thing. It will invoke
execve() on the first executable file it finds named thing.
On that same system, a program called /u/bin/tofu can cause either /u/bin/sparcv7/tofu or /u/bin/sparc/tofu to be invoked using the follow-
ing code:
int
main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])
{
return (isaexec(getexecname(), argv, envp));
}
