fork

I have a script that forks some child process! When the child finish
exit with exit($i) function. The problem is that from the parent i can't
see the return value $i of the process! I use the pcntl_waitpid($ status)
and pcntl_wifexited ($status) but the status returned is always 1. How
can the parent process see if the child has exit? Thanks

I have no idea what you are doing really, but I think 'return()' might be
more useful to you than 'exit()'.

I was given the following code, and asked what the possible outputs could be. We're learning about processes and forking. int value; int main(){ int pid, number = 1; value = 2; pid = fork(); value = value + 2; number = number + 2;

Hi I want to have a wait page while the rest of the cgi does its process, but it seems like the wait page waits till everything is complete and never appears. I've tried forking twice already as suggested in a faq, but it still doesnt seem to work. Below is what I have done: pid = fork() if (pid == 0){ printf ("http://my.wait.page"); exit (100);

Now before I go into detail I just want to say that this is purely for my own benefit and has no real world usage. I remember way back when the tool for *nix systems called forkbomb was created. I recently explained it to a friend of mine and at that time decided to see if I could replicate it in C#. I have created an application that, to me at least, mimics what fork would/should do on *nix/bsd systems. I know that fork spawns a new...

Hi everybody, I am experiencing an annoying problem with fork() and execv(). In my program I need to launch the "pppd" from a thread, so, I create a new process with fork and then in the child process I launch with execv the pppd to connect an embedded system to internet. The problem is that pppd fails. I have made two test program just to discard bugs (my applications is really big) and the result is that when I call execv from a...

when the fork system call is executed, a new process is created. The original process is called the parent process whereas the new process is called the child process. The new process consists of a copy of the address space of the parent. On success, both processes continue execution at the instruction after the fork call, with one difference, the return code for the fork system call is zero for the child process, while the process identifier of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
