If you have any questions please comment.
Code:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
void reverse_handler(int sig);
_Bool isPause=0;
_Bool isRunning=1;
int main()
{
int ppid;
int counter=0;
//make parent respond for ctrl+c (pause,resume).
signal(SIGINT,reverse_handler);
while(isRunning){
while(isPause==0)
{
/*code exec while process is resuming */
printf("\nc:%d",counter++);
fflush(stdout);
sleep(1);
}
//close parent after child is alive.
if((ppid=fork())==0){ exit(0); }
//make child respond for ctrl+c (pause,resume).
signal(SIGINT,reverse_handler);
//keep child alive and listening.
while(isPause==1){ /*code exec while process is pausing */ sleep(1); }
}
return 0;
}
//if process is pause made it resume and vice versa.
void reverse_handler(int sig){
if(isPause==0){
printf("\nPaused");
fflush(stdout);
isPause=1;
}
else if(isPause==1){
printf("\nresuming");
fflush(stdout);
isPause=0;
}
}
