Hi, I need a way to store a value somewhere for temporarily by say Process A. Process A can exit the after storing the value in memory. After sometime Process B comes accesses the same location of memory and read the value. I need to store in memory, because I dont want the data to persistent across reboots. But as long as the system is...
Our system comprises many .NET websites, class libraries, and a MSSQL database. We use SVN for source control and TeamCity to automatically build to a Test server. Our team is normally working on 4 or 5 projects at a time. We try to lump many changes into a largish rollout every 2-4 weeks. My problem is with keeping track of all the ...
I'm using Python, for what it's worth, but will accept answers in any applicable language. I've tried writing to /proc/$pid/cmdline, but that's a readonly file. I've tried assigning a new string to sys.argv[0], but that has no perceptible impact. Are there any other possibilities? My program is executing processes via os.system (equi...
Is it real that the TerminateProcess function in Windows could hang because the threads inside the process were stuck in a deadlock? Example: Process A is running under Process B's control, now Process A gets into a deadlock and Process B detects this and decides to 'Kill' process A using TerminateProcess. Would it be successful in ki...
The idea is that I want to build a small app that detects if the webcam is being used and by what. I have thought about seeing who has use of the Twain.dll somehow (like the way process explorer knows) It's for a security style app that picks out weird webcam behaviour. Ideally I would use C# as it's my strong point, but I'm guessing...
I have two different C# applications that are running at the same time. I would like both of them to be able to access the same "instance" of a DLL (also in C#). The DLL holds some data that I'd like to return to whichever of the two applications is asking for it. My DLL is thread-safe so I was hoping this would be possible but I'm no...
In a Windows operating system with 2 physical x86/amd64 processors (P0 + P1), running 2 processes (A + B), each with two threads (T0 + T1), is it possible (or even common) to see the following: P0:A:T0 running at the same time as P1:B:T0 then, after 1 (or is that 2?) context switch(es?) P0:B:T1 running at the same time as P1:A:T1 In ...
in the .net environment (C# language), how can I go about writing an application that can monitor when a process is created within the system, and when that process spawns other processes? ...
The relevant part of the code looks like this: pids = [] for size in SIZES: pids.append(os.spawnv(os.P_NOWAIT, RESIZECMD, [RESIZECMD, lotsOfOptions])) # Wait for all spawned imagemagick processes to finish while pids: (pid, status) = os.waitpid(0, 0) if pid: pids.remove(pid) What this should be doing is spawning ...
What's the simplest way to obtain the current process ID from within your own application, using the .NET Framework? ...
Edit: It seems my test to determine whether the original JVM had exited was flawed to begin with (see comments on accepted answer). Sorry for the noise. I have a need to have a running JVM start another JVM and then exit. I'm currently trying to do this via Runtime.getRuntime().exec(). The other JVM starts, but my original JVM won't exi...
I have 2 programs (.exe) which I've created in .NET. We'll call them the Master and the Worker. The Master starts 1 or more Workers. The Worker will not be interacted with by the user, but it is a WinForms app that receives commands and runs WinForms components based on the commands it receives from the Master. I want the Worker app t...
Hi, I need a portable C++ library for doing IPC. I used fork() and SysV shared memory until now but this limits me to Linux/Unix. I found out that there are 3 major C++ libraries that offer a portable solution (including Windows and Mac OS X). I really like Boost, and would like to use it but I need processes and it seems like that this...
Often I want to get a nice readout what process are running and their relationship; I usually by habit runs ps auxfww and eventual grep for the process in question. Having been thinking about the problem I tried to create an oneliner to get the process tree in ps ufww format for all processes which has the session id specified by arbitr...
I have a Ruby program that loads up two very large yaml files, so I can get some speed-up by taking advantage of the multiple cores by forking off some processes. I've tried looking, but I'm having trouble figuring how, or even if, I can share variables in different processes. The following code is what I currently have: @proteins = ""...
Current scenario, I launch a process that forks, and after a while it aborts(). The thing is that both the fork and the original process print to the shell, but after the original one dies, the shell "returns" to the prompt. I'd like to avoid the shell returning to the prompt and keep as if the process didn't die, having the child handle...
I am needing to collect a list (In C#) of processes which currently (Or within the past x secs) have have network activity, the names of the processes, and the qty of data sent (Pretty much EXACTLY what is shown on the new Windows 7 Resource Monitor under the network tab). I know I could use WinPCap to write a complete sniffer myself, B...
Hello everyone, I have a question. Is it possible to implement a background process in a servlet!? Let me explain. I have a servlet that shows some data and generate some reports. The generation of the report implies that the data is already present, and it is this: someone else upload these data. In addition to report generation, I sh...
Even though the topic title explains most of the question, I'd like to sketch out the scenario so you understand in what context this question is put. I have an application which is like an Outlook contacts list. It gets all the contacts from Outlook and the result is that they're displayed in a data grid view. Now, instead of starting ...
Hi I am having an application which has a UI module and other supporting services. These other services have memory leaks and other thread synchronization issues. Hence in some machines especially quad core, dual core machines the services crash every now and then. I know the best way to fix this is to clean up the memory leaks and syn...
