Socket Program Challenging issue, please help

Dear Experts


Hope all doing Good


facing a challenging problem in my C socket Program, Please help in this regard.




Am writing a server Socket Program, it is working fine but my requirement is below.




Am having 2 cprograms


1. Child c program which will have a function to convert upper case as function as below.


2. a server socket program to send the result of child program to socket specified port.


if it is a chat kind of program , i can able to do, but it need send message to socket from other function and value.


Problems,


1. After sending first message Server socket program is exiting.
2. how to keep waiting the server socket program and to send frequent changing results from child program to socket.




Please help me in this regard, will help me a lot.

Well it sounds like you have a program that works to some extent, so you should post it.

the scenerio is need to monitor thr Database activities through out by continusoly in specific interval.
for this am using C application which will write the DB status information into an file.


it will pass the processed_data by a function to a file in defined path.
now my requirement is to bypass writing into a file and i want to stream through socket with port.
now i have created below socket function and calling the function inside the program which writes into the file.


server socket function.

Code:

---

int sendsoc(char *buffer)
{


int server_fd, new_socket;
    struct sockaddr_in address;
    int opt = 1;
    int addrlen = sizeof(address);
     
    // Creating socket file descriptor
    if ((server_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == 0)
    {
        perror("socket failed");
        /*exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*/
    }
    printf("socket created\n");
     
    // Forcefully attaching socket to the port 8080
    if (setsockopt(server_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR | SO_REUSEPORT,
                                                  &opt, sizeof(opt)))
    {
        perror("setsockopt");
        /*exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*/
    }
    printf("socket assigned\n");
    address.sin_family = AF_INET;
    address.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
    address.sin_port = htons( PORT );
     
    // Forcefully attaching socket to the port 8080
    if (bind(server_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&address,
                                sizeof(address))<0)
    {
        perror("bind failed");
        /*exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*/
    }
   
    printf("socket binded\n");
    if (listen(server_fd, 3) < 0)
    {
        perror("listen");
        /*exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*/
    }
    printf("socket listening\n");
    if ((new_socket = accept(server_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&address,
                      (socklen_t*)&addrlen))<0)
    {
        perror("accept");
        /*exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*/
    }
    printf("socket accepted\n");
    write(new_socket , buffer , strlen(buffer) );
    printf("message send\n");



return 0;
/*end*/


}

and calling below function to write into socket.


sendsoc(processed_data);




issue is now it is sending only one message and this server is also closing and clien also closing
and my application hanged and not able to proceed further is there any alternative method
to send the message through socket continuously

Everything down to accept should be done once.

Then in pseudo code

Code:

---

while ( accept ) {
  getData(buffer);
  write(new_socket , buffer , strlen(buffer) );
  close(new_socket);
}

Dear Salem,


Thanks a lot


Please confirm below code is fine as per your suggestion.

Code:

---



int sendsoc(char *buffer)
{
 
int server_fd, new_socket;
    struct sockaddr_in address;
    int opt = 1;
    int addrlen = sizeof(address);
     
    // Creating socket file descriptor
    if ((server_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == 0)
    {
        perror("socket failed");
        /*exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*/
    }
    printf("socket created\n");
     
    // Forcefully attaching socket to the port 8080
    if (setsockopt(server_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR | SO_REUSEPORT,
                                                  &opt, sizeof(opt)))
    {
        perror("setsockopt");
        /*exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*/
    }
    printf("socket assigned\n");
    address.sin_family = AF_INET;
    address.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
    address.sin_port = htons( PORT );
     
    // Forcefully attaching socket to the port 8080
    if (bind(server_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&address,
                                sizeof(address))<0)
    {
        perror("bind failed");
        /*exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*/
    }
   
    printf("socket binded\n");
    if (listen(server_fd, 3) < 0)
    {
        perror("listen");
        /*exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*/
    }
    printf("socket listening\n");
    //if ((new_socket = accept(server_fd, (struct sockaddr *)&address,
  //                    (socklen_t*)&addrlen))<0)
  // {
  //      perror("accept");
        /*exit(EXIT_FAILURE);*/
  // }
  //  printf("socket accepted\n");
  //  write(new_socket , buffer , strlen(buffer) );
  // printf("message send\n");


while ( accept ) {
  getData(buffer);
  write(new_socket , buffer , strlen(buffer) );
  close(new_socket);
}
 
return 0;
/*end*/
 
}

Please confirm the above code

No, it's wrong.

You just dumped in my pseudo code.

That means you have to THINK about what you're doing, and write some actual code.
