EC> Is the syntax for OSK kill() under C the same as it is for OS9?
|
||
|
|
||
|
#include <signal.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
int kill(pid, sigcode)
|
||
|
int pid;
|
||
|
short sigcode;
|
||
|
|
||
|
kill() is used to send a signal to a process. Both the sending and
|
||
|
receiving process must have the same user number unless the sending
|
||
|
process' user number is that of the super user (0).
|
||
|
|
||
|
The value in sigcode is sent as a signal to the process whose ID number
|
||
|
is pid. Any value can be given in sigcode. The conventional code
|
||
|
numbers are defined in the <signal.h> header file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
kill() returns -1 if an error occurs and the appropriate error code is
|
||
|
placed in the global variable errno.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The super user can send a signal to all processes running on the system
|
||
|
if pid is zero.

|
||

I have been successful getting most of mine to work so far but ran
|
||
|
into a snag with the readnews option to 'reply' and postnews option 'a'
|
||
|
addnews article.
|
||
|
I found my system lacking the chown module that is called during the
|
||
|
news article posting to make the file owner the superuser. The
|
||
|
UUCPBB20.LZH included a chown.c source but it is for the CoCo OS9.
|
||
|
If anyone can tell me where I can get an OSK version or upload to my
|
||
|
Fido BBS I thank you in advance.
|
||
|
If I try to compile the source I have it errors out with several
|
||
|
errors due to the diferances between OS9 and OS9-68K.
|
||
|
My E-Mail part is working fine and I am getting the comp.os.os9 news
|
||
|
articles no problem, just cant reply or followup a news article.

|

|

|
|

|
Quoting the OS-9 tech manual (F$Send): "If you attempt to send a signal to a
|
||
|
process that has an unprocessed, previous signal pending, the signal is placed
|
||
|
in a FIFO queue of signals for the individual process. If the process is in
|
||
|
the signal intercept routine when it receives a signal, the new signal is
|
||
|
processed when F$RTE executes."
|
||
|
Note that this is for V 2.4 (and I assume later versions as well).
|
||
|
It is not true of V 1.2 (I also have an '86 68020 system). I don't know when
|
||
|
the change was made.

The syntax is "kill(pid,signal)" where pid is process ID and signal is the
|
||
|
signal value. It returns -1 on error and puts the error in errno.
|
||
|
Error codes are listed in the <signal.h> file.

Warren, according to a file sent to me, long agon, all ports except /t1
|
||
|
support flow control. I'm using FCom for communcations. However, it
|
||
|
does not have any built in file transfer protocals. Therefore I use
|
||
|
external protocals solely so as not to have to reinvent the wheel.
|
||
|
I mainly use Zmodem, obtained from your bbs (z68). The problem is in
|
||
|
rz. Using FCom and a serial analyzer flow control looks like it works
|
||
|
fine, actually it does. I must assume that I need to get the source for
|
||
|
it and modify the I/O routine as I beleive it is polled and not
|
||
|
interrupt driven.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Will try to get a letter off to you soon on the hardware... %-)
|
||
|
Later...

|

|
|
||
|
I am having trouble with my UUCP running on my MM/1 as
|
||
|
follows;
|
||
|
|
||
|
If I attempt to send out mail to a regular address like ;
|
||
|
'bob@kc2wz.bubble.org' with cc to postmaster the postmaster
|
||
|
gets the msg OK but when I call 'uucico jadpc' I get the
|
||
|
the following error report in my log even with -x5.
|
||
|
The error report as follows ;
|
||
|
|
||
|
uucp jadpc (May etc) Handshake succussful (protocol 'g')
|
||
|
uucp jadpc (May 1 sec later) DEBUG--gproto: protocol started; segsize
|
||
|
= 1, winsize = 7
|
||
|
msendfile: Send file to remote as MASTER
|
||
|
jadpc (May etc 2 sec later) ERROR---msendfile: can't open '' to
|
||
|
send...error 215
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then it repeats the same line over again another second later.
|
||
|
Evidentally the result of trying to send the two 'D.' files.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It deletes the first file after the session
|
||
|
but the other two 'D.jadpc0 and D.ocnbeach0' are left.
|
||
|
these three files are placed in my /dd/usr/spool/uucp/jadpc dir with
|
||
|
file attributes for the superuser 0.0
|
||
|
The same as it did when working before.
|
||
|
Another strange thing is before when I posted as user 0.1 the first file
|
||
|
|
||
|
would have the 0.0 owner and the other two 0.1. Now all three are 0.0.
|
||
|
I have gone over all the files in sys/uucp and all the usr dirs and
|
||
|
can not find anything amiss. The contents of the first file is ;
|
||
|
|
||
|
S D.ocnbeach0
|
||
|
D.ocnbeach0
|
||
|
root -D.ocnbeach0
|
||
|
0666 root
|
||
|
S D.jadpc0
|
||
|
X.jadpc0
|
||
|
root -D.jadpc0
|
||
|
0666 root
|
||
|
|
||
|
-Now those other filenames correspond to the ones left in the dir
|
||
|
/dd/usr/spool/uucp/jadpc and the owner is 0.0 and I have listed out the
|
||
|
files and they all look fine and same as before.
|
||
|
Could it possibly be a problem with my host ? His system has been
|
||
|
flawless up to now and I do get E-Mail and the news articles in
|
||
|
comp.os.os9 consistantly.
|
||
|
I am up the proverbial tree now since I can't send anything except
|
||
|
from my Fido system.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I have sent an E-Mail from here advising Bob B. of this problem but
|
||
|
have not heard back yet.
