Remote Procedure Call and C ?

[hunghsun]

I was wondering if it is possible to use c to create a job on another machine or not (such as using RPC)? I would like to run my c program on 1 machine and then at the middle of the program it spawn a job on another machine. Is this possible?

Yes it is possible. It is too complex to explain in a few lines. If you're using unix I can post you an example. Try 'man rpcgen' for more info.

I am thinking about doing it on linux and/or windows. any idea how it is done in these systems? Also, if anyone know a book/website where i can pick this up (and related stuff) i would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Book - try Advanced Programming in a Unix Environment by Stevens. There are about 4 pages on it but the other 700 odd pages are packed with really useful stuff for any Unix programmer. Basically, there are two variants of rpcgen.

Note that debugging RPCs can be quite painful.
