C++ Linux Daemon Help
Hello Scriptlance
We have a project for a C++ developer with experience creating daemons to control applications on linux based servers.
We have an application that currently does the following:
* runs in the background as a services
* accepts tcp connections and validates authentication
* authenticated connections receive a command from a central mysql database
* command is read from database and converted into literal command
* logs errors and commands to a debug file
We need your help too:
* take the converted commands and execute them properly on the server – as a user, or as root.
* optimize current code
* add additional error checking – ie: a command fails – check it and report unique error, not reply from command
* resolve any issues you may see with operation or security
This application is designed to be a background service running 24/7 and needs to be a light weight low usage program.
Current application uses the boost library.
I have the example application and can send privately. It is sensitive information and will be for serious applicants only. It is a basic application that starts and receives commands.
