Creates a child process using fork(). The child increments a global variable (glob) and a local one (var) and returns the corresponding process id of each process. With fork() the child DOES NOT USE the same variables as the parent, so if the child changes these values, the parent still keeps his./* creates a child process using fork(). the child increments a global variable (glob) * and a local one (var) and returns the corresponding...

Modify a file without changing it’s access and modification times.

According to the comments this is supposed to be a very basic echo server. It was written for school many years ago and I didn’t turn out to be a C coder after all, though I remember this being fun, so for anyone stumbling upon this: DISCLAIMER – apparently it was six in the morning and looks like I was a bit drunk too, so, seriously, don’t try it if you don’t know what it does. You shouldn’t run unknown code on your system, specially...

My ideea was to set up a script running on Google’s servers that would automatically get files from my site and back them up on Google Drive. I would have gotten a free off-site backup. Unsurprisingly, it’s not working due to limits imposed by Google, even though I did manage to cheat on the 10MB limit for UrlFetchApp and file creation. Instead it now fails either because it’s execution takes too long, or because it tries to write to Drive...
