1. b) C program that creates a child process to read commands from the standard input and execute them (a minimal implementation of a shell – like program). You can assume that no arguments will be passed to the commands to be executed.

#include,stdio.h>

#include<unistd.h>

#include<string.h>

main()

{

int pid,n,i;

char cmd[30];

printf(“n Enter the number of commands : “);

scanf(“%d”,&n);

pid=fork();

system(“clear”);

if(!pid)

{

for(i=0;i<n;i++)

{

printf(“n Enter the command : “);

scanf(“%s”,cmd);

system(cmd);

}

}

else

{

wait(100);

exit(1);

}

printf(“n Parent process is completed..nn”);

return 0;

}
