Event Management System

Description

This project is a multi-threaded Event Management System featuring a robust client-server architecture. It excels at efficiently handling events and solving challenges related to the producer-consumer problem. The Event Manager receives input via .jobs files located inside the jobs directory. After executing the commands specified in the .jobs file, the program creates a corresponding .out file in the same directory containing the output.

Configuration

• To run the program you first must compile it using:

make

• After compiling you must run the server's executable inside the server directory using:

./ems pipe_name 

(where pipe_name is the name of the server's designated pipe for receiving client connection requests.)

• With the server already running, you can now run client instances in the client directory using:

./client req_pipe resp_pipe server_pipe jobs_file_path

Where:

• req_pipe is the path to the client's request pipe.
• resp_pipe is the path to the client's response pipe.
• server_pipe is the path to the server's pipe that was created upon server initialization.
• jobs_file_path is the file containing the commands to be executed by the program.
