I finally decided to take a dive into Objective-C with Xcode. I'm
looking at the iPing example in Hillegass' latest book, Cocoa
Programming. iPing works fine as coded in the book. Next, I decided to
replace `ping` with a binary I wrote called `keyreq`. It is simply a C
program and resides in /usr/local/bin.
Calling it from the command line with no keyserver listening on the
other end:
] keyreq 1
<keyclient> starting ... requesting <1> key[s]
TcpConnect getsockopt returned ECONNREFUSED for IP <10.0.1.19> and
port <6000>
TcpConnect ERR <5089>: Unable to connect to any specified servers
<keyclient> Error <5089>. Inspect logs
Calling it from the command line with a keyserver listening on the
other end:
] keyreq 1
<keyclient> starting ... requesting <1> key[s]
Request #<1>
ALLKeyRtv results:
Key name: <Key01-128 >
Instance Requested: < >
Key Size : <128>
Key Format: <1>
Instance used: <mpn8/fE2ZzMI6NmeapwqDA==>
Expiration: <00000000>
Last rolled date: <00000000>
Return: <0>
Here is the project code for the startStopPing method (the relevant
part that I think I should change) of iPing:
task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[task setLaunchPath:@"/sbin/ping"];
NSArray *args = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"-c10",
[hostField stringValue], nil];
[task setArguments:args];
Perhaps stupidly, I thought I could just swap out setLaunchPath and
then change NSArray:
task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[task setLaunchPath:@"/usr/local/bin/keyreq"];
NSArray *args = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[hostField stringValue]];
[task setArguments:args];
'Build and Go' compiles clean but upon entering a number, like 1 in
hostField, and then clicking 'Start' results in the 'Debugger Console'
going to gdb. With the above modification, I can return setLaunchPath
to /sbin/ping and the program works fine.
Me, a novice, is confused. Any pointers to documentation, examples,
etc. would be helpful.
