Hello everybody, this is my first post on this forum. I have a program that has a child process that sleeps for 5 second and exit. I'm suppose to modify this program so that when the child exits, the parent reports the exit status of the child, so I also have to deal with SIGINT and SIGQUIT. Can...

signal handler for SIGCHLD

Hi, I have an c++ application which uses the function fork and execvp(). The parent does not wait until the child ends. The parents just creates children and let them do their stuff. You can see the parent program as a batch-manager. I have added a SIGCHLD handler to the program: void...

Hello, I'd like to know whether it is possible to let the parent know who kills its child process. The case is likely as below: if there are four processes, we call them A, B, C and D. B is the child of A, and can be killed by both C and D. if B is killed, then A will receive SIGCHLD from B....

SIGCHLD interrupts its own handler

Hi. I have a program whose job it is to manage 15 child processes. Sometimes these children die (sometimes deliberately other times with a SEGV).

RMCPING(8)						      System Manager Commands							RMCPING(8)

NAME

       rmcpping - send RMCP Ping to network hosts

SYNOPSIS

       rmcpping [OPTION...] destination

DESCRIPTION

       rmcpping  uses  the  RMCP  Ping request datagram to elicit an RMCP Pong response from a remote host. The utility can be used to verify if a
       remote host supports RMCP or IPMI. The initial starting sequence number will be randomized.  rmcpping will return 0 to the  environment	if
       it receives atleast 1 response from the remote host. Otherwise, it exits with a value of 1.

OPTIONS

       The following options are available

       -h     Output help menu.

       -V     Output version.

       -c count
	      Stop after sending count packets.

       -i interval
	      Wait interval seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait for one second between each packet.

       -I interface address
	      Set source address to specified interface address. Argument may be numeric IP address or name of device.

       -t timeout
	      Time to wait for a response, in seconds. Default is five seconds.

       -v     Verbose output.

       -s num Specify an initial starting sequence number. The default is to use a random initial sequence number.

       -d     Turn on debugging.

KNOWN ISSUES

       It has been observed that some remote BMCs can get "confused" and delay packet responses if duplicate packets (with duplicate sequence num-
       bers) are sent in succession very quickly. There is no known way to cleanly deal with a "confused" BMC other than the wait awhile.

       Unlike ping(8), local network devicess (e.g. 127.0.0.1) cannot be "pinged".
