process programming...

[kimes]

I've just learned about fork ...
Is there any simple project that I can make unlike meaningless 'hello world' printing..?
Thanks in advance

int main()
{
int return_value;

printf(``Forking process$\backslash$n'');
fork();
printf(``The process id is %d
and return value is %d$\backslash$n",
getpid(), return_value);
execl(``/bin/ls/'',``ls'',``-l'',0);
printf(``This line is not printed$\backslash$n'');
}

modify this for your enjoyment

How about an HTTP server that accepts multiple connections? If the file asked for is executable, you could run the executable as a separate process using CGI.

you could write a simple unix shell like i did here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43562
