Thirdly will rsync work to back up from a ext3 drive to a FAT32 drive and how reliable will this be Lastly is this the right command cfdisk /media/usbdisk** cfdisk partitions your disk. you will stilll need to format the partition. use cfdisk this way cfdisk /dev/*usbdiskdevicename* (this you need to obtain from dmesg as soon as you insert the usb usually something like sda,sdbso on) use mkfs.msdos /dev/*usbpartitionnames* (usually sda1,sda5.. so on. ) one restriction about using msdos filesystem is the maximum partition size in 30gb sorts..

What if all our FSUGs/GLUGs members from all over India meet together, online?. How would it be if we all meet in the beginning of the New Year? After discussion with the channel ops, I am happy to call for an all-India FSUGs/GLUGs members meet on January 1, 2006 at 1500 hrs IST at #gnu-india on irc.freenode.net. No agenda as such. The idea is to get to meet folks from different FSUGs/GLUGs, get to know what FSUGs/GLUGs have been and are working on, free software ideas/suggestions/plans/activities for 2006. I will broadcast this message to as many FSUGs/GLUGS that I am member of and that I know of. Please feel free to spread the word.

[ilugd] Waiting for a child to die
#include unistd.h
#include sys/types.h
#include stdio.h
#include sys/wait.h
int main()

pid_t child = 0;
int status = 0;
printf(forking!\n);
child = fork();
if(child == 0)
{
printf(Inside child\n);
sleep(2);
printf(Finishing if\n);
}
else
{
printf(Inside Parent\n);
while(1)

waitpid(child, status, 0);
if(WIFEXITED(status))
{
printf(Child exited\n);
break;
}
}
printf(Finishing else\n);
}
}
The above code works perfectly, the parent waits for the child to die
then exits itself.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/junk# ./child
forking!
Inside child
Inside Parent
Calling waitpid
Finishing if
Child exited
Finishing else
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/junk#
However, how do i make this wait by the parent a non-blocking wait?
This is because while checking for has the child died, parent is
blocked by waitpid hence cannot do other processing.
I've tried using WNOHANG in waitpid as waitpid(child, status,
WNOHANG) this is the output i get
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/junk# ./child

Inside child
Inside Parent
Calling waitpid
Child exited
Finishing else

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/junk# Finishing if

Notice that parent exited before child died.
Am i using WNOHANG in a wrong way? or in a wrong place? What can be
other strategies i can use? I dont want to use threads as they'll be
an overkill (all i want to do is keep parent in non-blocking state,
while looping for child's alive status).

Mayank Jain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [Code, and successful experiment deleted] However, how do i make this wait by the parent a non-blocking wait? Um, what do you mean by a non-blocking wait. Calling wait()/waitpid() means that you *want* the parent process to wait for the child to finish processing (or, some other condition occurs, as specified in the 3rd argument). This is because while checking for has the child died, parent is blocked by waitpid hence cannot do other processing. If you want the parent to continue some processing, you can either fork another child for this, or set up the child to signal the parent when it exits, rather than using wait()/waitpid(). I've tried using WNOHANG in waitpid as waitpid(child, status, WNOHANG) this is the output i get This behaviour with WNOHANG is not surprising. As the manpage tells you, with this option, waitpid() returns immediately if the child has not exited. Incidentally, though this is probably not an issue here, you cannot depend on the order of messages from a child/parent to tell you which finished processing first.

[ilugd] Ubuntu 5.10 - Universe Packages
Hi I just installed Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy on two machines. By and large the CD contains much of what is required, However a lot more seem to be accessible only through the universe repository option over the net. Is it possible to get these repositories (the universe ones) on an add on CD or something. Considering that the internet connection we have is not really suitable for large scale downloads. And if such a CD is available (for download , replication etc) would it carry more than just the Universe repository options.

Check for the waitpid() value 0 (which is returned when WNOHANG is used,
and no child has exited.)
in your code:
waitpid_result = waitpid(child, status, WNOHANG);
if (waitpid_result WIFEXITED(status))
{
printf(Child exited\n);
break;
}
should give you the expected results.
Note: Do take a look at your program logic here in scenarios where the
child does not exit normally. waitpid() will return the PID of the
child, but WEXITED() will not be true in such cases. Hence the parent
process (in your program) will go into an endles loop.

Instead of one person he is likely to find whole bunch of ppl helping him along. And if he can come to todays LUG meet (about two hours away now) it will benefit him even more. -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
