Interprocess Communication
Hiya Everybody just joined,

Not sure if this is the right sectionSmilie

I require abit of an assistance with IPC!

I know there are different types of IPC porcesses like signals, semaphores, mutexes, shared memory, message queues, pipes and sockets.

Now say a system has a number of interrelated processes where
  • one interacts with a user,
  • one gathers data from a rotating machin,
  • one controls its speed and
  • another logs data to disk.
So, therefore which IPC would I require for the above and what method will I need to emply.

Thanks you!

Looks like a homework question to me.

We get a lot of IPC questions, and none of them are abstract and vague, without context.

I still think it is homework Smilie
