Server manager

I'v been working on a new bf1942 server manager for linux.
it should work as interface between the server binary and the user.

im stuck here:
(im writing it in c++)
how to run a binary and pass stdin to it, and receive stdout back?
I found:
http://tldp.org/LDP/lpg/node9.html
But iv tried and tried, but i didnt get it working. (especially the part where you exec the binary)
Im absolutely not a great programmer, so all help is welcome

Re: Server manager

Hi, try to look at this
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/popen.3.html
or
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c- … pen-wpopen

But I don't think you really need this, it's enough to deal with the server remote console interface instead of std I/O.
