I'm confused how this execvp() is handled in this sample function which uses fork() to clone a process
You can have a look at the manpage for execvp, it says: The exec() family of functions replaces the current process image with a new process image. So, what does that mean? It means, if execvp succeeds, your program wont be in memory anymore, thus it wont ever reach the...
What happend with exec in Python3.3? [duplicate]
Because exec() is now a function, you can no longer use it to set local names in Python functions. In Python 2, where exec is a statement, the compiler could detect its use and disable the normal local name optimisations in place for functions. Execute your code into a new...

what happens when I exec() from a forked child in c
"foo calls fork() and now I have two, call them foo_parent and foo_child." Less confusing: you still have the process foo (parent) and now you also have a child process (foo_child). "Is foo overwritten in memory with bar?" When foo_child calls exec(), then its memory space is overwritten with that...
PHP exec() function throws empty array values with apache, but CLI's are fine
The issue is that when you are logged in via the CLI the user which we'll call root. However when you are accessing through your browser, which goes through your webserver, it's logged in with a different user which we'll apache. root has access to the UUID, apache does not....
Call to a member function exec() on a non-object ERROR in PHP [duplicate]
I suspect that $db is either not an object (if it's not actually NULL), or $db doesn't have a function named exec. I recommend you verify that your connection to the database is successful, and verify that $db is the connection object. Verify that exec is a valid function for...

How to put arguments in a function at run time?
c++,linux,runtime,exec,argument-passing
If you are not required to use execlp, execv or execvp are better functions for your requirement. From http://linux.die.net/man/3/execlp The execv(), execvp(), and execvpe() functions provide an array of pointers to null-terminated strings that represent the argument list available to the new program. The first argument, by convention, should point...

Passing int using char pointer in C
Programs simply do not take integers as arguments, they take strings. Those strings can be decimal representations of integers, but they are still strings. So you are asking how to do something that simply doesn't make any sense. Twenty is an integer. It's the number of things you have if...
What happens to memory passed in arguments to exec*() family of functions?
From the execv man page: The execv(), execvp(), and execvpe() functions provide an array of pointers to null-terminated strings that represent the argument list available to the new program. The first argument, by convention, should point to the filename associated with the file being executed. The array of pointers must...
execl not running programming
According to the spec, the argument list to execl must be terminated by a NULL pointer (i.e. (char *)0, not ""). Changing the nearby code is just changing what happens to be on the stack when you invoke execl. As written, the program's behavior is undefined. P.S. Always check the...
PHP SSH2 exec “$”
Passing a GET variable to an ssh2_exec() is probably a huge security issue. But disregarding that, single quotes ignore variables - you need double quotes for that. In other words: change this if (!($stream = ssh2_exec($con, 'wall echo $msg'))) { to this if (!($stream = ssh2_exec($con, "wall echo $msg"))) {...
Using exec to relaunch crashing binary
I don't know specifically what you saw, but there are conceivable ways of using exec in a loop to launch and relaunch a process, e.g. while true do ( unset DISPLAY && exec ./myfile ) done The ( .. ) here is an explicit subshell, so there is a fork...
Why are execv*() arguments inconsistent with execl*()?
I can't find an authoritative answer, but I suspect the two call signatures differ based on how they are created and how they are used. In the case of execl*(), it's entirely possible your function was passed a const char* which you are passing on. If the signature of execl*()...
how to end redirected execlp in c

Why doesn't execlp allow me to use a pipe?
When you write the following command in a shell ls -l | sort two programs are executed: ls and sort. The pipe character (|) means that the output of the first should be redirected to the standard input of the second. This pipe is interpreted by your shell. It is...
Pass complete code to phantomjs
PhantomJS has an interactive version where you can pass code in through stdin, but there is a bug (versions 1.9.x and 2.0.0) because of which no pages can be opened which makes this effectively unusable. There is no way to pass a script into PhantomJS to be interpreted. You need...
run bash script from php exec()
Firstly, you can't sudo it directly like that. So you have to change some configurations in sudoers file. Run sudo visudo in console, add the following line at the end of file nobody ALL = NOPASSWD: /var/www/script P.S.: It's a security risk to use your script like that which would...
Running several 'exec' in a ruby loop
exec replaces the current process by running the given command. Example: 2.0.0-p598 :001 > exec 'echo "hello"' hello [email protected]:$ You can see how exec replaces the irb with system echo which then exits automatically. Therefore try using system instead. Here the same example using system: 2.0.0-p598 :003 > system 'echo...

Extra empty string when parsing string into arguments
The code you present will include an empty string (which is not well characterized as "an empty space") at the end of the argument list if the string pointed to by line ends in whitespace. You can avoid that by first truncating any trailing whitespace (spaces, tabs, and/or newlines), by...
Forked and executed program does not returns to console
The first program completed, without waiting for the child process to complete. The shell gave you a prompt, but then the output of the ls -l command started. The shell was still waiting for you when you hit the interrupt; if you'd typed echo Hi, it would have done your...
python forked processes not executing with os.execlp
The first argument, after the executable, is arg[0] which is by convention the name of the executable. This is useful, if you have symbolic links, which determine the behavior of the programm. In your case, you name the programm '-n' and the real arguments are only -a and Calculator. So...

How to create an anonymous pipe between 2 child processes and know their pids (while not using files/named pipes)?
From the Bash man pages: ! Expands to the process ID of the most recently executed back- ground (asynchronous) command. You are not running a background command, you are running process substitution to read to file descriptor 3. The following works, but I'm not sure if it is what you...

Confusion with dup2(), exec() and pipes
Pipes are primarily designed for one-to-one communication — one writer, one reader. While there is nothing that prevents having as many readers and writers as you want, the behavior often makes this not very usable, especially with multiple readers: Reading from a pipe is a destructive operation: each byte sent...
How to execute a program using c code in linux [closed]
You can use the exec functions. int execl(const char *path, const char *arg, ...); For example, execl("/bin/ls","ls","-l",NULL); In the path you can give your executable code to run. If you want to give the argument to your functions you can give that in the double quotes....

Why does execv exit a function?
From the start of the exec man page you linked: Exec overlays the calling process with the named file, then transfers to the beginning of the core image of the file. There can be no return from the file; the calling core image is lost. Just like in today's exec...
Client/server: running “nano editor” command from client

Exec after forking a process doesn't return the result before the program finishes
The problem is that you call pipe in the grandparent process. After the grandchild process (ls -a) exits, the parent process (sort -r) blocks indefinitely waiting to read more input from the pipe since some process - the grandparent - holds an open descriptor to the write end of the...
Receiving error code during output redirection using execvp
c,exec,fopen,io-redirection,dup2
You cannot use execvp to parse shell commands. The redirection (>) character is understood by the shell (e.g., bash, sh, ksh) and execvp executes the command you pass it directly. It does not try and interpret the arguments and create file redirections, etc. If you want to do that you...
Exec in Python 2.7.6 [duplicate]

how the exec() function maintain the memory spaces?
The memory mappings are replaced when you call any of the exec*() functions. It doesn't matter how much memory the child process uses after fork() as exec*() will cause the existing memory mappings of the process to be destroyed and new memory to be allocated/mapped for the new executable. See...

For eqn I suggest using a lambda function: eqn = lambda i: 1 / (i + 5) then index is not needed, because it is just "the variable passed to the function" (does not need a name). Then your function becomes def integrate(fn, start = 0, end = 128000, step...

Passing an instance of DirectoryIterator to another script via exec() is not working as expected
Since you pass $fileinfo in a string to the other script it's no longer an instance of DirectoryIterator, because the magic method __toString() is called, which converts it to the filename itself. So you don't need and can't use isDot() or getFilename(), just make a simple if statement like this:...

php exec inside exec / nested exec
Technically it's possible to have an exec in your exec, but it looks like you're using different configurations. Usually PHP has to different sets (Apache and CLI) of php.ini files (which might be configured to disable the exec function at all. I assume your first exec call is coming from...
Creating non blocking pipes to child that does not block and can be reused
There are several issues to be considered. First, pipes have a finite maximum length (4096 was common in the distant past); any write to a pipe which has more data in it than that will block, as will any read from an empty pipe. These are fundamental to the way...

shell script, for loop, does loop wait for execution of the command to iterate
Assuming that you haven't background-ed the command, then yes. For example: for i in {1..10}; do cmd; done waits for cmd to complete before continuing the loop, whereas: for i in {1..10}; do cmd &; done doesn't. If you want to run your commands in parallel, I would suggest changing...
close(pipe[1]) after exec
If execl() is successful, nothing after it in the original program runs, since it replaces the contents of the process with the program you ask it to run. You need to close the pipe before execl: close(anotherPipe[0]); dup2(anotherPipe[1], 1); //redirect stdout to pipe close(anotherPipe[1]); execl("/usr/bin/who", "usr/bin/who", (char*)NULL); Also, don't forget...
Storing outputs of PHP scripts running in parallel
