I want to do something like this ffmpeg -i audio.mp3 -f flac - | oggenc2.exe - -o audio.ogg i know how to do ffmpeg -i audio.mp3 -f flac using the process class in .NET but how do i pipe it to oggenc2? Any example of how to do this (it doesnt need to be ffmpeg or oggenc2) would be fine. ...
Is it easy to create an IPC setup with wxWidgets? I have an application that needs to detect if a previous instance is running and send a message to the running instance with a string value. Is there an easier way to do this than setting up a wxServer and wxClient-derived class? ...
Goal Pass images generated by one process efficiently and at very high speed to another process. The two processes run on the same machine and on the same desktop. The operating system may be WinXP, Vista and Win7. Detailed description The first process is solely for controlling the communication with a device which produces the image...
My .NET program needs to run an algorithm that makes heavy use of 3rd party libraries (32-bit), most of which are unmanaged code. I want to drive the CPU as hard as I can, so the code runs several threads in parallel to divide up the work. I find that running all these threads simultaneously results in temporary memory spikes, causing ...
Can anyone explain how I can successfully get my processes communicating? I find the perldoc on IPC confusing. What I have so far is: $| = 1; $SIG{CHLD} = {wait}; my $parentPid = $$; if ($pid = fork();) ) { if ($pid == 0) { pipe($parentPid, $$); open PARENT, "<$parentPid"; while (<PARENT>) { print $...
Is there any POSIX signals that I could utilize in my Perl program to create event-driven programming? Currently, I have multi-process program that is able to cross communicate but my parent thread is only able to listen to listen at one child at a time. foreach (@proc) { sysread(${$_}{'read'}, my $line, 100); #problem here chomp($l...
I am implementing two processes on a LynxOS SE (POSIX conformant) system that will communicate via shared memory. One process will act as a "producer" and the other a "consumer". In a multi-threaded system my approach to this would be to use a mutex and condvar (condition variable) pair, with the consumer waiting on the condvar (with pt...
I have an app running under Catalyst+FastCGI. And I want it to fork() to do some work in background. I used this code for plain CGI long ago (and it worked): defined(my $pid = fork) or die "Can't fork: $!"; if ($pid) { # produce some response exit 0; } die "Can't start a new session: $!" if setsid == -1; close STDIN o...
I'm trying to write a C++ program in Linux that communicates with a chess engine via its command line interface. Chess engines have standard protocols like UCI so, if I could write this, I could use different chess engines interchangeably. My C++ program should start the chess engine, send it a command, get the output, send it a comma...
I am having a hard time trying to find documentation at achieving IPC using Coldfusion 9 portlets under JBOSS. Does anyone have any good references I can take a look at? Or maybe some example code that I can go off of? So far I've been successful in getting my portlets working under Liferay (JBOSS), form submission, different views (ed...
I am working on a debugger project for a game's scripting engine. I'm hoping to write the debugger's GUI in C#. The actual debugging engine, however, is embedded in the game itself and is written in a mixture of C, C++, and assembly patches. What's the best way to handle communication between the debugger GUI and the debugging engine? T...
Say someone executes the following in a terminal: echo 'start working' > /etc/.example and when this is executed, the example program would "start working." On UNIX(-like) systems, how would something like that be implemented, and what is this kind of behavior called? ...
If I control both applications, what is the best way to communicate between 2 exe's written in VB.Net. For example, I want to drop an XML file from one app, and pick it up with the other, but I do not want poll for the file. I've heard of named pipes, but I found it was complicated. What's the most effecient way to do this? ...
Hello, I have a Java app, connecting through TCP socket to a "server" developed in C/C++. both app & server are running on the same machine, a Solaris box (but we're considering migrating to Linux eventually). type of data exchanged is simple messages (login, login ACK, then client asks for something, server replies). each message is a...
I have two servers - one Django, the other likely to be written in Python - and one is putting 'tasks' into a database and another is processing these tasks. They share a database, but I want the processor to react quickly to new tasks rather than polling periodically. Are there any straightforward ways for two Python servers to talk t...
I'm writing an application that is split into two parts for Mac OS X - a daemon and an agent. I'm using a standard unix socket to communicate between the daemon and the agents. That is, the socket is created with PF_UNIX and SOCK_STREAM. When agents are created (whenever a user logs in), one of the first things it does is to connect to...
Hi, I'm developing a qt browser plugin and want to implement named pipes in it. I tried the basic fortune cookie example provided with the QLocalSocket and QLocalServer in an exe and it works fine. But when i try to implement a similar thing in the browser plugin, making a page where the plugin is present listen to a name (like a server...
What would be the fastest portable bi-directional communication mechanism for inter-process communication where threads from one application need to communicate to multiple threads in another application on the same computer, and the communicating threads can be on different physical CPUs). I assume that it would involve a shared memory...
I need my parent and child process to both be able to read and write the same variable (of type int) so it is "global" between the two processes. I'm assuming this would use some sort of cross-process communication and have one variable on one process being updated. I did a quick google and IPC and various techniques come up but I don'...
We have what we think is a marshaling problem with a renderer object when called across process boundaries. The renderer is an ATL COM server with a COM object that implements the IPoints interface defined below: typedef [uuid(B0E01719-005A-427c-B9DD-B42A18E969AE)] struct Point { double X; double Y; } Point; [ object, uu...
