Sorry, I don't speak English very well but I will try to explain my problem!
If I write a C++ program and I use che system call system("command") I have this problem:
If I would launch a program I do this:
Code:
system("~/Agostino/program/test")
and all work fine!!
But if I divide this command in two part like these:
Code:
system(cd ~/Agostino/program/);
system("test");
no work fine because "test" is not found. "test" is searched in the default home path. The second call to system is executed like if it was invoked in another terminal session!
I showed this trivial example but, generally, I would that the second call to system start when the first terminated and as a result.
I hope I've explained well my problem! Thank you all for your cooperation!
The system() function runs the command in a separate process. When you run a second call, it gets its own process and anything (environment, working directory etc.) set in the first process isn't available.
Try putting the two commands together
Code:
system( "cd ~/Agostino/program; test" );
This will change directories and then run the test command; all in the same process.
Hope this helps.

It occurs to me that the system() function usually executes /bin/sh, and depending on your environment the shell installed as /bin/sh might not support the [/code]~[/icode] as meaning "home directory." Best to pass that information into your programme, or have the programme use get the value of HOME from the environment and use it.
Thanks a lot!!
I will test it when arrive at home!!
And IfI want to spend some time between the first and the second command?? I would be sure that the first command is completed before the beginning of the second.

Yes, the syntax command1; command2 'blocks' until the first command has completed. You could try this from the command line and see the behaviour:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main (int argc, char* argv[]) {
system("scp file.pdf AgostinoPolizzano@192.168.1.100:./; ssh AgostinoPolizzano@192.168.1.100; cmd");
cout<<"end";
return 0;
}
If I execute it, this is the output:
Code:

MacBook-Pro-di-Agostino-Polizzano:~ AgostinoPolizzano$ ./test

The third command does not run and the program stops at the end of the second command!! Why?? It's a SSH question??
Thanks a lot!!
What exactly is "cmd" supposed to do? It's not any UNIX command I've ever heard of.
If you're trying to run it on the remote server there shouldn't be a ; between it and the ssh command, since it will try to run it locally once ssh has finished, not inside ssh!
Cannot present unpresented disks back again. On a test server tried this as a solution "multipath -r" and it worked. Too worried to try it in production before I know all the information.
Any info would be appreciated!
