CS 3733 Operating Systems, Spring 1999 Assignment 5 Testing


Warning: This is not for the current semester.


Due ASAP

Now that Assignment 5 has been turned in it is time to test to see how well it is working.

The program testasst5 is available in /usr/local/courses/cs3733/spring99/assign05.

This program takes 2 command line arguments, a process ID and then name of a FIFO.

It starts by opening the FIFO for write.
It sends some data to the FIFO and sends a SIGUSR1 signal to the process whose ID was given on the command line. It then waits for a SIGUSR1 and a SIGUSR2 signal, and reports the data.

It does this again several times and then exits.

Test your Assignment 5 by running this program in the window that you would normally use to send keyboard input to pipe1.

Save the output generated in this window as well as the output produced in the other windows affected by input from pipe1 (windows 3 and 5).

Turn in a hard copy of the output generated in these three windows.
Make sure your name is on the upper left corner of the first page.
You may slip the output under my office door if I am not there.
