Running the Application

Use the C_INIT loading facility to run the application dynamically, as follows:

• Copy the executable application files into the root_dir/bin directory:

  % cp hello_s root_dir/bin

  This step is important because the applications must be in a directory on the host that is exported to the target system.

• Start the hello supervisor actor:

  % rsh target_name /bin/hello_s

  This command returns the PID of the new application.

ChorusOS operating system applications are loaded and locked in memory when they start. This means that physical memory for the application's text, data, and stack must be available at load time. The memstat command of C_INIT can be used to check if sufficient physical memory is available on the target system.
