Story of a Program

Image result for process state transition diagram

Hi, I'm a program. I have seen two worlds. People call then "Main Memory" and "Secondary Memory". Secondary Memory is my home, this is where I spend most of the time. It is my Home. Main memory(aka Primary Memory) is my work place, this is the place from where I turn into Action using processor.

I enter the Primary Memory aka Main memory. I have to take a toke and wait in the lounge. This is called as ready state. Some times the lounge gets crowded and few programs from here will be sent to another big lounge, it is called "Ready Suspended". So once we get the chance to enter the processor we move from ready state to "Running" state. While we are running inside processor we may need some resources and we get have to wait for those resources to be available. Then we are sent to another state from the "Running" state. This state is similar to "Ready Suspended ", which we went when we were waiting in the lounge, but this buffer state is within the main memory.This is pretty small place. Sometimes when this gets crowded, we enter the "Blocked Suspended" state which is a bigger place in the secondary memory.

Once the resource get available we are back to "Running", to get up and running. Once the running actions defined in the program are completed we end at a state called "Terminated".

Procedure to enable wireless LAN adapter in vmware!

I have went to find the way in which wlan in Kali Linux could be made listed my airmon-ng command. Most of the videos and posts suggested me that it is necessary to have another wi-fi adapter to have connected to wifi network. But this is not necessary. The procedure to do this is as follows: 1. Download this package in Virtual Machine(Kali linux) " http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2010-06-26-p.tar.bz2" 2.Unzip this package in terminal i.e navigate to place where you have downloaded this file , say desktop then type : cd Desktop for unzip type : tar -jxvf compat-wireless-2010-06-26-p.tar.bz2 3. Navigate into the uncompressed directory and type: i."make unload"  (only words within the quotes are the commands) ii."make load" Done!  now airmon-ng  should have the list of the required devices.

"Swift" from Programming Template

About Memory: 1. How do I get memory, i.e how are variables declared. Any specific facts and constrains about variables ? If type annotation like var Varb:Float ; is not used then it is mandatory to assign the initial value to the variable. "Var" keyword should get you the required memory. 2. How do we get the entry point for the program execution ? [ Example : main() in the C program ] Script based. There is no particular entry point. 3. How does dynamic memory handled ? Is it supported in first place ? Instances for the classes can be created. Automatic Reference counting mechanism has the strong reference to one of the variable. Till there is strong reference to the variable it'll be there in the memory. Once there is no strong reference it'll be de-initialized. [ Ref : https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/Swift_Programming_Language/AutomaticReferenceCounting.html ] 4. What are the datatypes which are supported an...

Create One-Click Shutdown and Reboot Shortcuts

First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC. But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this: shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC" Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use. I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting. Here are the ones I use: shutdown -s -t 03 -c "Bye Bye m8!" shutdown -r -t 03 -c ...
