Re: POSIX Message Queues

Hi all,

        I use message queue to exchange data between 2 unrelated process, as shown below

Program A:
while (1) {
    mq_receive(); /* wait and receive request */
    /* process request */
    mq_send(); /* reply the request result */
}

Program B:
mq_send(); /* send request */
mq_receive(); /* process result */

        How it's possible to process A that call mq_send() receive it's *own* send data using mq_receive(), so process B that intended to read the message (mq_receive()) could not read it?, the problem is *sometime* happen, at most program A reply what program B requested. Did I miss something here?

A process' umask is inherited from its parent. For interactive
sessions, you can set it in your ~/.profile or similar. For daemons
started by init, you can set it in the rc script which starts the
daemon.

Yes.
