A call to the exec() family of functions in UNIX does not normally return to the calling process. This is because the call replaces the invoking process'es image, thus there is nothing to return to. If an error does occur, exec() returns -1, and sets an error value that can be interrogated, but the answer to the question is, usually, never.
The normal paradigm for launching a process and getting control back, such as by the shell, is to call fork(), which splits the invoking process into two identical processes, one continuing to monitor the other. The other process then calls exec(), replacing itself. When it exits, the first process can detect that and retrieve its return value.
privileged EXEC
Privileged mode has access to the entire router or switch configuration. User EXEC mode only has limited options. Specifically, to do any configuration changes, you need to enter privileged mode first.Privileged mode has access to the entire router or switch configuration.

Normally, when a call is waiting, you hear a tone. Then, press the 'flash' button. If the phone does not have a 'flash' button, tap the 'hangup' button quickly (not on a cordless phone). Do the same to return to your original call.
Yes, him and three other students at MIT use to hack Unix systems alot.One of those Unix Hacks ended up being MSDOS
The system call interface defines all the services of the operating system to the programs. The basis of the different variants of the UNIX operating system is different system call interface. SVID (System V interface definitions ) POSIX standard (IEEE) POSIX 1003.4 is API (Application Program Interface) for the real time systems. www.etherlook.com
The exec family of UNIX system calls will overlay the current process with another process. It can be used to "chain" a series of programs to run together. When used with the "fork" system call it allows multi-tasking to occur.
The -exec option executes the following command on a target of the 'find' command.
The reason for the exec functions being same/similar is because the Mac OS has its roots in variants of the Unix kernel.
In Unix systems, a fork system call followed by an exec systemcall need to be performed to start a new process. The fork call clones thecurrently executing process, while the exec call overlays a new processbased on a different executable over the calling process.
Yes, it does return. There are only few functions that do not return, like exit, exec, longjmp.
du -sk "filename"
fork, exec, wait, exit
execlp() is a system call on UNIX systems (within the "exec" family of system calls declared in unistd.h) that loads an executable and begins executing it within the current process. execlp() is unique from other "exec" calls in that PATH environment variable is searched (so you need not provide the full path of the executable) and the command line arguments are passed in using variable size argument list (... in C) as opposed to an array of arguments.
The 'system' API will run a command string in a subshell and return to the calling program. The 'execl' API will overlay the current process with a different program; it can never return to the calling program because the calling program is no longer there (it has been overlayed by the new program from execl). The fork and exec command are used to spawn other activities or processes from a currently running program.
'cu' stands for Call Unix. It used to be used for calling dialup services from one Unix to another. Hardly used anymore with networks (which are much faster)
system, exec*, spawn*, CreateProcess, ShellExecute...
That seems like a good reason to get a lawyer. How big do you think the estate is? If there isn't much, it might not be worth it.
