We need an experienced c/c++ developer to create a simple program that controls another program. We expect the program to be very simple and short but requires some expertise in network and pipe usage. There will be three functions in this program (let's call the client program [login to view URL]). 1. run (runs an external program). Example usage [login to view URL] run 1 "[login to view URL]" This command runs "[login to view URL]". Notice that [login to view URL] continues to run even after [login to view URL] exists. 2. send (send an input to an external program). Example usage [login to view URL] send 1 "open [login to view URL]" This command sends a string as input to the other program as if the string was typed at the console of the external program. 3. kill (kills the external program). Example usage [login to view URL] kill 1 This command terminates the external program (in this case ftp). To be able to implement this, I think we actually need two programs: [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] where [login to view URL] becomes the parent process of the running external programs. Exact spec of the arguments [login to view URL] run id argument [login to view URL] send id argument [login to view URL] kill [id] //If id is not specified, kill all external programs. We need you to demonstrate the correctness of the program using an interactive program (such as telnet or ftp) that does not terminate immediately. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform Windows and linux
