I'm trying to make a pipe system for my shell, but it's not working as intended.
void pipes (char *listaCommand[], int end, char **argv)
{
int cont = end;
for (cont;listaCommand[cont]; cont++)
{
if (listaCommand[cont] != NULL)
{
if (!strcmp(listaCommand[cont],"|")){
int pid2, status;
int pipefd[2], ret;
listaCommand[cont] = NULL;
ret = pipe (pipefd);
if (ret < 0) fatal();
/* Now fork. */
pid2 = fork ();
if (pid2 <0) fatal ();
if (pid2 > 0)
{
printf ("P: waiting for child\n");
wait (&status);
close(STDIN_FILENO);
dup(pipefd[0]);
close(pipefd[0]);
close(pipefd[1]);
/*execvp (auxCommand[0], auxCommand);*/
pipes(listaCommand, cont+1, argv);
/*break;*/
}
else
{
close (STDOUT_FILENO);
dup (pipefd[1]);
close (pipefd[1]);
close (pipefd[0]);
}
}
}
}
if (end >= 3)
{
printf("%s \n", listaCommand[end-1]);
}
execvp (listaCommand[end], listaCommand);
printf ("%s: command not found.\n", listaCommand[end]); /* Exec failed. */
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
If I use commands like ls | sort, it works, but if ls has any argument, it doesnt work, because for some reason, listaCommand[cont] where its == "|" is not NULL, so I just get ls: option -- 'a' invalid.
listaCommand have
[0] = "ls"
[1] = "-al"
[2] = "|"
[3] = "sort"
