I am trying to write a program in C (in Linux 64bit with GCC 4.1.2).
int program_instances(char *cmdname)
{
char buf[32], *ret;
char cmdbuf[512];
FILE *cmdpipe;
sprintf(cmdbuf, "/bin/ps -eo comm | /bin/grep -c '%s'",
cmdname);
cmdpipe = popen(cmdbuf, "r");
if (!cmdpipe)
{
return -1;
}
memset(buf, 0, sizeof(buf));
ret = fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), cmdpipe);
pclose(cmdpipe);
if (!ret)
{
return -1;
}
int nr = atoi(buf);
return nr;
}
Tried to debug the issue through gdb but after the line
sprintf(cmdbuf, "/bin/ps -eo comm | /bin/grep -c '%'",cmdname);
The programm is not crossing the above line , throwing the below lines..
Executing new program: /bin/bash Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command. [New process 2437] Executing new program: /bin/ps
Please help us to resolve this issue.
