So do you want me to repost it in the HW section? or can it be like "moved"?

It's homework, i wasn't aware there was a special forum (srry) but thats also why i wasn't asking for an answer, i was just asking of ways to do things :)

unfortunately i have to use shmat <_<. sadly.
am I at least "close" to my implementation using shmat?

I'll try to keep this short, but basically I need to figure out a way to load data in shared memory (this file will be called load.c) I will later access the data with a print.c program.
The "data"...

Oh so it's waiting for them in order? as they come then, instead of just whatever gets done first? sorta...?

either way you've been a HUGE help. and I can say I've honestly learned alot by doing...

It seemed to have worked. The terminal is still messed up, but im ok with that. I tried the sleep and even when it was off kilter it still made it wait.

So as to improve my learning, cause you...

Ya I noticed literally just now with using sleep 60 right after a ls &......
it still let me type it in.

darnit.
so to use waitpid i'd replace wait with waitpid( pid, &status, WNOHANG);
? or...

Ah that makes sense. I guess it's not a big deal, i might go back through and make some changes. I mean.....the way I have it isn't "wrong" is it? it's just I guess......messy (well the terminal is...

Sorry, I just had a bunch of ideas was trying to figure stuff out.
also, i realize that is prints myshell again the first time, but if you try typing in another command, it'll just be a blank cursor...

here's an example of what im talking about.
myshell> ls -a
. .. a.out fork.c Hello .hi shell shell.c
myshell> ls -l
total 36
-rwxr-xr-x 1 matt matt 8435 2010-09-26 20:43 a.out
-rw-r--r--...

That makes sense.
Oh well I mean everything else looks correct, the myshell> printout is a little bit screwy when I use & BUT the & seems to be working correctly regardless (using the sleep 60 &...

Oh well I guess I just thought there was more to background.

#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>...

Ya I had heard about the zombie process thing, altho i'll prolly do that in my "prettying" up after im done with it all. Since im also sure using SIGCHLD is probably a decent addition, especially...

It's working? however?
I mean..the bool return is changing correctly when an & is found?
Im not saying it's the best thing to be using....but for a shell such as this (being extremely simple) it's...

EDIT WOOT IT WORKS.
check dis out

#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

using...

Well if I could get that while loop to run id be able to get the & out....but for some reason i get a seg fault in the commented out section of the code....

Oh....well crap.
Oh well I mean the parsing function works....
I checked with some extra debugging to make sure it's parsing and it is, however Im just not so sure how to do a background process,...

So I made my own unix shell, but i want to make a background process when using the & appended to the end, so far most of the commands seem to work (except cd, but thats another story)
right now...
