Thanks,

Hi Barani,

It would be better if you can put more details by giving an example.

Is it that an C application to check if a particular service on a remote linux box is running or not?
how abt access permissions to connect to the linx?

I donot have an answer straight away, but can be tried.

Is there any function or system call?

Thanks,

Hi all,

Please any-one explain me what is the logic behind the taking linux services staus , through my application.

Thanks,
Barani

I don't really understand the question. Can you rephrase it?

There might be, but you don't say anything about what version/distro of Linux, what your application does, or what language its written in. Hard to give you an answer, when we don't know details.

A "ps -aef" at the command line will return the process table. Perl and other languages have hooks to read the process table.

Please write clearly...your question is hard to understand. Are you asking HOW the system-config-services program gets information from the user? Process Table? What??

And the "C" code for it can be found either on your distro's repository, or on the install media. I doubt anyone is going to email you programs.

Hi all,
Operating System = Linux Fedora core 8
Language = "C"

I am trying to take the localhost services (not process) status through my "c" application.
Example:
snmpd stopped...
sshd running...

For that how to go about this , any function gives this , which logic i go for taking those information.

Thanks,

How many more threads are you going to start on the same subject?

There might be a lower level method to answer your question, but if you follow the logic in the service script, it calls the service script in init.d which, in turn, checks for the existance of a 'status' zero byte file in /var/lock/subsys/. Check the service's init.d script for the other methods it uses to determine the service's status.

This is the same question you've asked in another thread....

Without knowing anything about your application, you could have it run through the services in /etc/init.d, and request a status, and process it accordingly.

You can look at the scripts in /etc/init.d, or the rc.status script.

Start by reading man inittab.

It all begins there... Continue until you can answer all of these questions without assistance:

1. What does the "/etc/inittab" file do?
2. What does the "init" process do?
3. What happens when a process dies?
4. What does the "cron" utility and the "/etc/crontab" file do?

It is not my intention that these questions be answered here. These are some of the basic concepts that you need to research, on your own, to determine what you need to know to do what you want to do.
