Hide glibc output and segfault (system call) - perl

I'm coding a shell like bash for a student project.
I need to make a perl auto tester of line commands.
my $cmd = "(echo \"foo\" | ./shell >& /dev/null)";
system($cmd);
if ($? == 35584) {
print "SIGSEGV";
}
elsif ($? == 34304) {
print "GLIB C";
}
else {
print "GOOD";
}
I want to be able to hide the output on segfault or glibc.
#Marc B
Okay, but my shell read on output 0, so i must have "echo" :s
#drquicksilver
* glibc detected ./shell: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000608291 **
OR
Segmentation fault

First of all, system executes sh, but you're using csh syntax.
my $cmd = "(echo \"foo\" | ./shell >& /dev/null)";
should be
my $cmd = "(echo \"foo\" | ./shell >/dev/null 2>&1)";
But executing shell can only interfere with your test. So let's avoid the shell entirely.
use Config qw( %Config );
use IPC::Run qw( run );
sub sig_name {
my ($sig_num) = #_;
my %sig_names;
#sig_names{ reverse split ' ', $Config{sig_num} } =
reverse split ' ', $Config{sig_name};
return $sig_names{$sig_num}
? "SIG$sig_names{$sig_num} (".($sig_num).")"
: $sig_num;
}
run [ './shell' ], \"foo\n", '>','/dev/null', '2>&1';
if (my $sig_num = $? & 0x7F) {
print "Killed by signal ".sig_name($sig_num)."\n";
} elsif (my $exit_code = $? >> 8) {
print "Exited with error code $exit_code\n";
} else {
print "GOOD\n";
}
What you call "GLIB C" is actually SIGABRT.

Perl : CRTL C ignored when calling subroutine instead of exiting

So the script is something like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Term::ReadLine;
$SIG{'INT'} = 'INT_handler';
sub INT_handler {
print "[+] Abording\n";
home();
}
my $term = Term::ReadLine->new('Simple Perl calc');
sub home {
my $prompt = "\$> ";
my $OUT = $term->OUT || \*STDOUT;
while ( defined ($_ = $term->readline($prompt)) ) {
my $com = $_;
print $com."\n";
if ($com eq 'exit') {
exit;
}
option(); # another subroutine when the input is transferred to
}
}
home();
what I get:
$>
[+] Abording
$> # I pushed CRTL C but nothing shows
$> # same here
What I want to achieve is to be able to go to home() without exiting, and keep the $SIG{'INT'} working.
I have tried some other methods ( labels, using if statement ), but it will take too long cause the input is used in long processes
You should not call home() in your signal handler.
Just set a flag that you check in your input loop. When $term->readline() returns, because it was interrupted by CTRL-C, check that the flag was set, reset it and continue to loop.
Here is your updated code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Term::ReadLine;
$SIG{'INT'} = 'INT_handler';
my $interrupted;
sub INT_handler {
$interrupted++;
}
my $term = Term::ReadLine->new('Simple Perl calc');
sub home {
my $prompt = "\$> ";
my $OUT = $term->OUT || \*STDOUT;
while ( defined ($_ = $term->readline($prompt)) || $interrupted ) {
if ($interrupted) {
$interrupted = 0;
print "\n[+] Aborting\n";
next;
}
my $com = $_;
print $com."\n";
if ($com eq 'exit') {
exit;
}
}
}
home();
exit 0;
Test output:
$ perl dummy.pl
$> test
test
$> ^C
[+] Aborting
$> ^C
[+] Aborting
$> sdasd^C
[+] Aborting
$> exit
exit
NOTE: there seems to be one issue still: you need to press return to get the prompt back. Probably something to do with how Term::Readline works.

Perl script is not kill tcl process

I have a perl script. It's not killing my tcl process. Here is what my process looks like:
UID 14439 10897 0 13:55:44 pts/26 0:00 /prod/bin/wish /prod/bin/q
Here is my perl script:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
#
# Simple kill script that allows users to kill specific processes
# using sudo
use BPub::Platform qw(solaris);
# Assume a taint mode type environment
$ENV{PATH} = '/opt/csw/bin:/usr/bin:/bin';
use strict;
use Getopt::Long;
if (!#ARGV) {
print "Usage: bkill [-9] pid <pid...>\n";
exit 1;
}
my $dashnine;
GetOptions('9' => \$dashnine);
# If the process name isn't in this hash, then you don't get to kill
# it
my %allowed_process_names = (
'dtsession' => 1,
'wish' => 1,
'compose' => 1,
);
# True if the given process name is one that we can kill
sub allowed_to_kill {
return $allowed_process_names{$_[0]};
}
# Takes a pid and returns the process name
sub process_name {
my ($pid) = #_;
my $out = `/usr/ucb/ps -c $pid | /bin/grep $pid | /bin/cut -b 25-1000`;
if ($?) {
print "Error running ps command: $!\n";
exit 2;
}
chomp($out);
return $out;
}
foreach my $pid (#ARGV) {
# tainted, remember?
if ($pid =~ /^(\d+)$/) {
my $safe_pid = $1;
my $name = process_name($safe_pid);
if (allowed_to_kill($name)) {
my #cmd = "/usr/bin/kill";
push (#cmd, '-9') if $dashnine;
push #cmd, $pid;
print "#cmd\n";
print "Killing $name ($pid)\n";
system(#cmd);
} else {
print "Not allowed to kill $safe_pid: $name.\n";
}
} else {
print "Invalid pid: must be a number: $pid\n";
}
}
When I run the script using sudo bkill PID. I get an error message saying:
bpub-xserver7-prod^UID118-> sudo bkill 14439
Password:
Not allowed to kill 14439: wish8.0.
Is there somethings that i can better in this script? How can i fix this problem that i am having getting rid of tcl process.
The program name your error message is emitting is wish8.0. So the simplest fix (and most strict) is to add 'wish8.0' => 1 to %allowed_process_names.
Or you could make your search less strict by doing something like:
my #allowed_process_names = qw(dtsession wish compose)
sub allowed_to_kill {
return scalar grep { index($_[0], $_) == 0 } #allowed_process_names
}
Which will find any string that starts with any of the allowed process names. (change to >= 0 or != -1 to allow it to match anywhere)
You could also use a regular expression instead. The following ones will match any program that starts with the provided program names. If you remove the leading caret, it would instead match them anywhere in the string.
my $allowed_process_names = qr/^(?:dtsession|wish|compose)/;
sub allowed_to_kill {
return $_[0] =~ /$allowed_process_names/;
}
or if you want to build up the regular expression programmatically:
my #allowed_process_names = qw(dtsession wish compose)
my $allowed_process_names = join('|', map quotemeta, #allowed_process_names);
$allowed_process_names = qr/^(?:$allowed_process_names)/;
# If the process name isn't in this hash, then you don't get to kill
# it
my %allowed_process_names = (
'dtsession' => 1,
'wish' => 1,
'compose' => 1,
);
...
my $out = `/usr/ucb/ps -c $pid | /bin/grep $pid | /bin/cut -b 25-1000`;
...
Not allowed to kill 14439: wish8.0.
Your ps pipeline is identifying the process as wish8.0 instead of wish or /prod/bin/wish. You will need to add an entry for "wish8.0" to this %allowed_process_names hash in order to use this perl script to kill this process.
If you were to look at /prod/bin/wish, you might find that it's a symbolic link to a file named wish8.0.

Show bash script output in live on perl - curses script

I'm a newb' on Perl, and try to do a simple script's launcher in Perl with Curses (Curses::UI)
On Stackoverflow I found a solution to print (in Perl) in real time the output of a Bash script.
But I can't do this with my Curses script, to write this output in a TextEditor field.
For example, the Perl script :
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Curses::UI;
use Curses::Widgets;
use IO::Select;
my $cui = new Curses::UI( -color_support => 1 );
[...]
my $process_tracking = $container_middle_right->add(
"text", "TextEditor",
-readonly => 1,
-text => "",
);
sub launch_and_read()
{
my $s = IO::Select->new();
open my $fh, '-|', './test.sh';
$s->add($fh);
while (my #readers = $s->can_read()) {
for my $fh (#readers) {
if (eof $fh) {
$s->remove($fh);
next;
}
my $l = <$fh>;
$process_tracking->text( $l );
my $actual_text = $process_tracking->text() . "\n";
my $new_text = $actual_text . $l;
$process_tracking->text( $new_text );
$process_tracking->cursor_to_end();
}
}
}
[...]
$cui->mainloop();
This script contains a button to launch launch_and_read().
And the test.sh :
#!/bin/bash
for i in $( seq 1 5 )
do
sleep 1
echo "from $$ : $( date )"
done
The result is my application freeze while the bash script is executed, and the final output is wrote on my TextEditor field at the end.
Is there a solution to show in real time what's happened in the Shell script, without blocking the Perl script ?
Many thanks, and sorry if this question seems to be stupid :x
You can't block. Curses's loop needs to run to process events. So you must poll. select with a timeout of zero can be used to poll.
my $sel;
sub launch_child {
$sel = IO::Select->new();
open my $fh, '-|', './test.sh';
$sel->add($fh);
}
sub read_from_child {
if (my #readers = $sel->can_read(0)) {
for my $fh (#readers) {
my $rv = sysread($fh, my $buf, 64*1024);
if (!$rv) {
$sel->remove($fh);
close($fh);
next;
}
... add contents of $buf to the ui here ...
}
}
}
launch_child();
$cui->set_timer(read_from_child => \&read_from_child, 1);
$cui->mainloop();
Untested.
Note that I switched from readline (<>) to sysread since the former blocks until a newline is received. Using blocking calls like read or readline defies the point of using select. Furthermore, using buffering calls like read or readline can cause select to say nothing is waiting when there actually is. Never use read and readline with select.

Term::ReadKey, non-blocking read in raw mode: Detect EOF?

When I pipe stuff into my program, it does not seem to get any character like 0x4 to indicate EOF.
$ echo "abc" | map 'cat'
saw a: \x61
saw b: \x62
saw c: \x63
saw
: \x0A
zzzbc
^C
I have to press Ctrl+C to quit, but I'm not really sure what the Ctrl+C is acting on. It's probably having the shell send a SIGINT to the pipeline? I don't know how pipelines work on that level.
Here is my program map:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::Pty::Easy;
use Term::ReadKey;
use Encode;
$#ARGV % 2 and die "Odd number of args required.\n";
if ($#ARGV == -1) {
warn ("No args provided. A command must be specified.\n");
exit 1;
}
# be sure to enter the command as a string
my %mapping = #ARGV[-#ARGV..-2];
my $interactive = -t STDIN;
# my %mapping = #ARGV;
# my #mapkeys = keys %mapping;
# warn #mapkeys;
if ($interactive) {
print "Spawning command in pty: #ARGV\n"
# print "\nContinue? (y/n)";
# my $y_n;
# while (($y_n = <STDIN>) !~ /^(y|n)$/) {
# print '(y/n)';
# }
# exit if $y_n eq "n\n";
}
my $pty = IO::Pty::Easy->new();
my $spawnret = $pty->spawn("#ARGV")."\n";
print STDERR "Spawning has failed: #ARGV\n" if !$spawnret;
ReadMode 4;
END {
ReadMode 0; # Reset tty mode before exiting
}
my $i = undef;
my $j = 0;
{
local $| = 1;
while (1) {
myread();
# responsive to key input, and pty output may be behind by 50ms
my $key = ReadKey(0.05);
# last if !defined($key) || !$key;
if (defined($key)) {
my $code = ord($key); # this byte is...
if ($interactive and $code == 4) {
# User types Ctrl+D
print STDERR "Saw ^D from term, embarking on filicide with TERM signal\n";
$pty->kill("TERM", 0); # blocks till death of child
myread();
$pty->close();
last;
}
printf("saw %s: \\x%02X\n", $key, $code);
# echo translated input to pty
if ($key eq "a") {
$pty->write("zzz"); # print 'Saw "a", wrote "zzz" to pty';
} else {
$pty->write($key); # print "Wrote to pty: $key";
}
}
}
}
sub myread {
# read out pty's activity to echo to stdout
my $from_pty = $pty->read(0);
if (defined($from_pty)) {
if ($from_pty) {
# print "read from pty -->$from_pty<--\n";
print $from_pty;
} else {
if ($from_pty eq '') {
# empty means EOF means pty has exited, so I exit because my fate is sealed
print STDERR "Got back from pty EOF, quitting\n" if $interactive;
$pty->close();
last;
}
}
}
}
That would explain why it produced "zzzbc".
Now my question is how can I get map to be able to know about echo "abc" having reached the end of input? cf. echo "abc" | cat completes on its own. ReadKey does not seem to provide API for determining this situation.
Similarly I am not sure how to do the same to pass along the EOF to the child in the pty. I am thinking this might cause issues when a command is to write to a file or something, because EOF vs sending a kill signal is the difference between writing the file correctly and not exiting cleanly.
Try reading from STDIN and not that $pty object. The pipe you create via the shell passes the data to your STDIN file descriptor 0, which in perl is your handle .
The $pty, I assume that's your terminal. That's why the script just hangs (I guess).

Using the Inkscape shell from perl

Inkscape has a shell mode invoked like this
inkscape --shell
where you can execute commands like this:
some_svg_file.svg -e some_png_output.png -y 1.0 -b #ffffff -D -d 150
which will generate a PNG file, or like this:
/home/simone/some_text.svg -S
which gives you the bounding box of all elements in the file in the return message like this
svg2,0.72,-12.834,122.67281,12.942
layer1,0.72,-12.834,122.67281,12.942
text2985,0.72,-12.834,122.67281,12.942
tspan2987,0.72,-12.834,122.67281,12.942
The benefit of this is that you can perform operations on SVG files without having to restart Inkscape every time.
I would like to do something like this:
sub do_inkscape {
my ($file, $commands) = #_;
# capture output
return $output
}
Things work OK if I use open2 and forking like this:
use IPC::Open2;
$pid = open2(\*CHLD_OUT, \*CHLD_IN, 'inkscape --shell');
$\ = "\n"; $/ = ">";
my $out; open my $fh, '>', \$out;
if (!defined($kidpid = fork())) {
die "cannot fork: $!";
} elsif ($kidpid == 0) {
while (<>) { print CHLD_IN $_; }
} else {
while (<CHLD_OUT>) { chop; s/\s*$//gmi; print "\"$_\""; }
waitpid($kidpid, 0);
}
but I can't find out how to input only one line, and capture only that output without having to restart Inkscape every time.
Thanks
Simone
You don't need to fork, open2 handles that by itself. What you need to do is find a way of detecting when inkscape is waiting for input.
Here's a very basic example of how you could achieve that:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use IPC::Open2;
sub read_until_prompt($) {
my ($fh) = (#_);
my $done = 0;
while (!$done) {
my $in;
read($fh, $in, 1);
if ($in eq '>') {
$done = 1;
} else {
print $in;
}
}
}
my ($is_in, $is_out);
my $pid = open2($is_out, $is_in, 'inkscape --shell');
read_until_prompt($is_out);
print "ready\n";
print $is_in "test.svg -S\n";
read_until_prompt($is_out);
print $is_in "quit\n";
waitpid $pid, 0;
print "done!\n";
The read_until_prompt reads from inkscapes output until it finds a > character, and assumes that when it sees one, inkscape is ready.
Note: This is too simple, you will probably need more logic in there to make it work more reliably if a > can appear outside the prompt in the output you're expecting. There is also no error checking at all in the above script, which is bad.
