Re: PCMON segmentation fault

[Nicoletta Petrella <nicoletta.petrella@gmail.com>]

Hi Jani,

Thank you very much for your answer.

I found out that the problem was in the memory allocated to the variable buf, that could not hold all the /proc/meminfo file. 

Increasing it from 

static char buf[1024];

to 

static char buf[2048];

solved the problem and it is working fine now.

Probably the buf size was tailored on a standard /proc/meminfo file and maybe mine is slightly different or newer.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Nicoletta

The license text for this software seems to missing. Doing anything
with this PC-MONITOR software is therefore a little bit problematic. It
may be better to contact the author:

      # This project was created by Miroslaw Dach SLS/PSI 2006
      # In case of problems please send an e-mail to the author
      # miroslaw.dach@psi.ch


Much of the code in devSysMon.c could be replaced with calls to library
functions that already exist in procps-library or even in glibc. It
might be easier to replace the old code.

 meminfo:
   proc/sysinfo.h:
     void meminfo(void)
       (+ global variables)
 get_uptime
   linux/kernel.h:
     struct sysinfo
   sys/sysinfo.h:
     int sysinfo (struct sysinfo *__info)
