Clone the repo
Run the following command in the directory to compile
make all - the Makefile will generate a server and client executable
Open two separate terminals and run server in the first open
Once the server is running, run client in the other Once
Play around and enjoy!
A remote shell used for simulate core concepts of OS system calls
server.cpp runs a process which listens on localhost:5001
client.cpp runs a process to look for that socket address
If the server is there and accepting, create a new socket connection
The connection stays open indefinitely, until the client inputs exit
The client reads input line by line from stdin
The client sends this data to the server, the server handles the processing
The server makes a pipe system call to create a child process and execute the input
The exec System call is looking to execute a bash command and store it in variable
Finally, the server will send back the contents of the output to the client
The client renders the output, and continues to sit on the connection
