I'm having trouble with popen(). In particular I am trying to do
FILE *pp;
char lineread[80];
pp = popen("rlogin lily","r+");
while (1)
while (!feof(pp)) {
fgets(lineread,80,pp);
fprintf(stderr,lineread);
}
This works fine if I run this as is, but if I do
main() {
if (fork()) exit(0);
signal(SIGHUP,SIG_IGN);
signal(SIGQUIT,SIG_IGN);
signal(SIGINT,SIG_IGN);
.
.
.
at the beginning, then I get a seg. fault when fgets tries to read from the
pipe. I've changed the command to "cat /usr/dict/words" and it works fine in
the background, so I reckon it's something to do with doing a pipe to rlogin.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong, and what can be done about it?
thanks,
RouX
