Hi everybody
I am creating an application using VC++ that runs on a terminal server with 30 end users. The end users will use thin clients as front end machines. The application consists of a main menu executeble that opens other executables depending on the user selection. In order to establish that communication I use named pipes. Actually I use 1 named pipe as the main tube for data transfer. What happens is that sometimes the session of any user may freeze and another user may view his data. As a result I have started suspecting that something is wrong with the method that creates the child process and also that at a certain point one user may "use" the name pipe share of the other. The code that performs the above call is:
int CTransfer::Star tTalking(CStrin g szNewProcess, CNamedPipe* m_ServerObject, char *pszBuffer)
{
STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMA TION pi;
char szProcess[128];
strcpy(szProces s , (LPCTSTR)szNewP rocess);
ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
si.cb = sizeof(si);
ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );
szNewProcess += ".exe";
// Start the child process.
if( !CreateProcess( NULL, // No module name (use command line).
szProcess, // Command line.
NULL, // Process handle not inheritable.
NULL, // Thread handle not inheritable.
TRUE, // Set handle inheritance to FALSE.
0, // No creation flags.
NULL, // Use parent's environment block.
NULL, // Use parent's starting directory.
&si, // Pointer to STARTUPINFO structure.
&pi ) // Pointer to PROCESS_INFORMA TION structure.
)
{
return 1;
}
#ifndef _DEBUG
if (strlen(pszBuff er))
{
DWORD dwBytesWritten;
if (m_ServerObject->ConnectClient( ))
m_ServerObject->Write(pszBuffe r , strlen(pszBuffe r), dwBytesWritten) ;
}
#endif
// Wait until child process exits.
WaitForSingleOb ject( pi.hProcess, INFINITE );
// Close process and thread handles.
CloseHandle( pi.hProcess );
CloseHandle( pi.hThread );
return 0;
}
I am thinking that I could do certain things such as:
1. create 1 named pipe per module in order to distribute traffic to more named pipes.
2. use a CreateMutex before the CreateProcess and Release it before the WaitforSingleOb ject
I will definitely appreciate any opion or help that you might provide.
Thank you for your time

Hi all!
I just tried to enable TCP/IP on SQL Server 2000 (trial, SP3a). The
Server Network Utility shows it's already turned on, but after
restarting the server doesn't listen to any TCP port, and in the
eventlog it reports "SuperSocket info: gethostbyname(MSAFD Tcpip
) : Error 11004." and "SuperSocket info: (SpnRegister) : Error
2102.". I googled but found nothing helpful. Does anyone know what's
wrong??

Hi,
The system is Windows XP and DB2 v8.1.7.
I'm trying to load a text file via named pipe into a table.
I have two programs:
the first program creates the named pipe, waits for a client and
writes the text file into the named pipe.
the second program is doing the db2Load() call.

Hi everybody,
Is it possible to open a named pipe from a php script on Windows?
More specifically, I have a Windows service that receives commands through a
named pipe, and I'd like to open the client end of the pipe directly from
php rather than creating an intermediate process.
Thanks,

Hi all!
I use python for writing terminal applications and I have been bothered
by how hard it seems to be to determine the terminal size. What is the
best way of doing this?
At the end I've included a code snippet from Chuck Blake 'ls' app in
python. It seems to do the job just fine on my comp, but regrettably,
I'm not sassy enough to wrap my head around the fine grain details on
this one. How cross-platform is this? Is there a more...

I have been approached by a new customer to "sort-out" their existing
database. They occasionally need to remotely access the database and are
using Terminal Server to do so. The weird thing is that all of the local
users are using TS as well to save on Access licences!
Two questions:
If 20 people use TS to access a database do you need an Access licence for
each user?

Hi all,
I would like to know is there a way to find out if any named pipes are

find out if a particular named pipe already running?
Thanks
