Im trying to create a multiprocess program in c. the main process will start 3 processes, each will do its job ( sleep for 1-10 sec ) and will report that he is done. The problem im facing is about generating the random numbers. i got the same numbers always ( randomized between each running, but constant between all forked processes. Is it a buggy code ? (im new to 'c') Is it the behavior of a forked process ? if it is, how can i generate random numbers ?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv){
// srand(time(NULL));
printf("starting main proc [%d]\n", getpid());
// start 3 processes
for (int i=0; i<3; i++){
exec_waiting_proc(i);
}
return 0;
}
// sleeper process
int exec_waiting_proc(int id){
int pid;
pid = fork();
if (pid == 0){
// child
srand(time(NULL));
int parent_id = getppid();
int sleep_seconds = (rand() % 10) + 1;
printf("%d\n", sleep_seconds);
//sleep(r);
printf("child-%d [%d], done... my parent: [%d]\n", id, getpid(), parent_id);
_exit(0);
} else {
// parent
printf("parent [%d]: starting process %d\n", getpid(), pid);
}
return 0;
}
output example : (2 times)
