Week 6: Memory Layout of a Process
Let's talk about the details of a process. We start with a visual representation of a process in memory and create a program that prints out the addresses of different elements of a program and observe the alignment of the text, data, and bss segments as well as the placement of the heap and stack. We also illustrate what a stack overflow looks like.
In 1983, #Unix was already recognised for its elegance and portability. However, at the time, Unix's use was primarily academic and institutional; the broader open-source movement, including #Linux and #FreeBSD, was still years away. The August 1983 issue of BYTE was a special edition dedicated to the C programming language. It featured the insert “The History of Unix,” which highlighted the co-development of C and Unix, and the key role C played in the portability of Unix

This is #gold for us #unix geeks. I am watching it as a series, 40-50 minutes at a time. Highly, very highly recommended.

Tool Tip: ed(1) is the standard text editor
As part of our discussion of unix development tools, we take a short detour to provide a quick walkthrough of ed(1), the standard text editor. This is not done merely to up your geek creds, but understanding ed(1) will also helps us better understand other tools like vi(1), sed(1), and ultimately even things like diff(1) and patch(1) better.
OK #unix and #linux gurus, how about this one
I want to continuously sync a remote directory to a local one at let's say 2-10Hz
HOWEVER
I can't make outbound connections from the remote machine. I can reach and grab things just fine.
For instance
rsync -avz remote:/src/ /here/
works but putting that into a bash loop feels like it would overwhelm something
I think I want to keep an ssh session open? Or tunnel, if I can set that up from the remote end only?
I've already thought of netcat, but again outbound connections don't work. I don't know any details about how that is set up.
Oh also both ends are running RH7 and the remote end can't install any packages. We need base install solutions only.
mmmm....wait a second, sleep takes a float!
while true; do
rsync -avz remote:/src/ /here/
sleep .1
done
seems to be fine. I do feel like I shouldn't be reestablishing ssh at 10Hz, tho....
