- Hi,
-
- I have a couple of questions about Unix.
-
- 1. can a program crash the processor on which it is running ? if so how?.
-
- 2. the machines (sunSparcs) in my lab are connected through an ethernet cable.
- how can i simulate a break in the cable on a machine. what i mean is the
- machine whose cable is broken (simulated to be) should not be able to
- communicate with the rest of the world.
-
- i am writing an application in which i need to simulate both 1 and 2. i would
- appreciate if any of you could answer these.
-
- please send ur replies to bsuresh@cs.ucsd.edu
