Re: [Oorexx-devel] Using a dynamically assigned port number

De: Moritz Hoffmann I think a clean solution would be to use UNIX sockets on Linux and similar systems. I don't know about Mac or Windows but I'm sure there exists something equivalent. Then, each user would have its own instance of the api daemon that is accessible using

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Using a dynamically assigned port number (Re: Running ooRexx without superuser power ... (Re: ooRexxUnit return codes

As far as I remember, there was no api daemon back then. Instead, ooRexx used shared memory to enable communication between different instanced belonging to the same user. This is definitely not the way we want things to work these days as it is hard to maintain and prone to bugs. The current

There's one problem that we're currently not looking at: The api daemon uses the user name as identifier to separate between different users. The name is sent in a message from the client to the server which means that it could be forged, i.e. any user can access any other user's data. It is not

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Using a dynamically assigned port number (Re: Running ooRexx without superuser power ... (Re: ooRexxUnit return codes

Yes, both ooRexx client program and rxapi would have to know where to look for the PID file. Unless there is a pre-arranged fall back place, something like ~/.ooRexx/rxapi.pid > On Jul 6, 2016, at 3:25 AM, Rick McGuire wrote: > > > > On Wed, Jul 6, 2016 at 6:18 AM,

Re: [Oorexx-devel] Using a dynamically assigned port number (Re: Running ooRexx without superuser power ... (Re: ooRexxUnit return codes

That could work, but I don’t know that a second file would be needed, couldn’t the PID file contain both PID and port? I’m also assuming that you would determine PID by matching effective user ID’s of both ooRexx client and rxapi. Also going forward this would be a solution for V5, I don’t
