Whenever I login to shell, I get this error
-bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
-bash-3.2$
I can't seem to execute any command which uses fork().
I tried ulimit -u as it doesn't use fork and it returned 35. Somehow my max process is set to 35.
I want to increase that, but I don't know where to make that change.
After installing Xfce and frequently hibernating the sessions several times,
I will get the message
couldn't fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
Then I need to close whatever is open and release the resources
I don't think there are too many resources being used -- certainly less than Gnome
anything to check?
thanks in advance
You want to play with pipe/fork:#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void work(void) {
int i;
for (i=0; i<512; i++) {
printf("Line %d\n", i);
}
}
int main(void) {
int pfds[2];
pid_t pid;
if (pipe(pfds) < 0) {
perror("pipe failed");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
pid = fork();
if (pid < 0) {
perror("fork failed&
According to wikipedia (which could be wrong)
When a fork() system call is issued, a copy of all the pages corresponding to the parent process is created, loaded into a separate memory location by the OS for the child process. But this is not needed in certain cases.
See In Example1, the parent process is being called first ,where as in the Example 2
the child process has been called first .
hi all,
The following code gives a linker error for error() function call on my cygwin setup
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <errno.h>
main()
{
pid_t pid;

How many process will get executed for one fork method..
A process executes the code
fork();

The total number of child processes created
hi,
when forwarding/rewinding a video file in mplayer/smplayer it simply hangs till i spin a bit more or less. following an strace of mplayer when it hangs. this part gets repeated infinetly, so i'm guessing theres an infinite loop somewhere.
i've got both plus w32 codecs from packman.
mplayer 1.0.rc2
smplayer 0.6.8.0
