good morning, everybody
i know, it seems more to be a problem according to unix but i got it while
developing software with php:
i have 2 different users on a hp-ux machine that execute php scripts. they
are both in the same group.
these php scripts start background processes, i can communicate with using
signals (sending with posix_kill, starting background processes via
pcntl_fork).
so i got severel background processes owned by my 2 users.
the problem is i want to send signals as one of my 2 users to all my php
background processes no matter who of my 2 users is the owner. is it
possible other than using external tools like sudo?
i'm using:
PHP 4.3.4 (cgi) (built: Aug 18 2004 15:37:46)
Copyright (c) 1997-2003 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2003 Zend Technologies
compiled with:
../configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php-cgi-saprfc' '--enable-calendar'
'--enable-filepro' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local'
'--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local' '--without-mysql' '--enable-sysvsem'
'--enable-sysvshm' '--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql' '--enable-trans-sid'
'--with-cpdflib=/usr/local' '--enable-sockets' '--with-ncurses=/usr/local'
'--disable-shared' '--with-tsrm-pthreads' '--with-saprfc=/usr/local/rfcsdk'

Sort of, but you really should understand the security model of Unix before
you start stretching the rules.
The only obvious solution I see within the constraints you've specified
would be to put the two users into their own group, then setup a program to
run setuid as the other user but only executable by the isolated group.
e.g.:
-rwsr-xr-- userA php_script_grou p signal_as_userA
-rwsr-xr-- userB php_script_grou p signal_as_userB

I am working on an application which involves

Hello all.
I've got a bunch of existing, non managed, C++ DLLs that export types
with, among other things, public events implemented using the
boost::signals library.
Now, I need to have these DLL interoperate with managed code. Among
others things, the managed code need to be able to register for
notification with the boost signals. I've tried different approaches
(trying to register a pinned delegate with the boost::signal, etc...),

Hi,
I am pretty new to the postgresql community.
My question may seem a little bit strange but
I'd like to know if it is possible to run 2
postgresql processes with 2 separate databases on the
same machine (change of the ports, different paths to
logs, ...)?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

hi
i have a program that works very similar to tail -f in Unix
It will need a Ctrl-C in order to break out of the program.
I wish to run this program using python (either thru os.system() or
some other subprocess modules) and how can i pass Ctrl-C to this
program to terminate it in python?
thanks

Hi everyone,
First off, I know that this has been discussed before and I did a
search but could not find anything that helped my situation.
Here is the problem: I have a Python program that uses threads, forked
processes, and signals and I can't seem to understand where the signals
go.
When the program starts, it creates a thread, which spins in select

I have a Windows command line based application that only shuts down
cleanly if it sees "CTRL-C" on the console. I need to automate the
running of this application, but still allow the user sitting at the
machine to cancel the process cleanly if he/she needs to. In Unix this
would be a tiny shell script that used "kill -15", but under Windows
there does not seem to be an easy way to do this, at least that I can
find.

I ran into this problem in a Terminal Server environment
When trying to kill all processes having the same name (to avoid hanging
instances of this process), my users ran into permission problem (access
denied) because the routine tried to kill other users' process as well.
Is there away to idenfity process owner in a Terminal server environment so
that only user's own processes to be eliminated?
Thanks

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,...
