- Hi,
-
- Can anyone provide some answers to the following question:
- How can one get one Unix process to write to other ones?
- - An example is the netfind server which starts up contemporaneously
- several processes which connect to different hosts and examine
- certain ports and services in search for a given user.
- - A more trivial example would be creating a short routine which writes to
- a { system("telnet some.host.here 25";} process using the SMTP
- protocol, thus providing an alternative for the mail command.
-
- Assuming the platform is SunOS/Sparc 4.1.2 can you provide the names of
- specific '#include' headers and the corresponding library names?
