Our project is "GSM Based Remote Monitoring and Billing".

The vision of the project is to replace the existing manual reading of electricity meters installed throughout the country (Home, Agricultural, and Industrial). The proposed solution is to build a server for the Electricity boards in each state where the custom built GSM meters would update in real time through SMS and instant status of the meter network can be established. The system will cut costs and improve transparency to a very large extent. Any failure or inconvenience on the consumer side can be instantly detected and rectified. The electricity board server can monitor and analyze the status of each and every individual meter on the network. The server would also provide a complete billing solution for the same.

With the root privilege in Linux type these commands to explore remote system.

1. #ssh root@IP
2. Enter the password of remote system.
3. Now you connected to remote system.
4. Explore it and even you can shutdown the remote system by just executing poweroff command in your system.

Linux C Code Debugging for Segmentation Fault with GDB

Hi Friends,

Whenever you are doing some programming, you will be getting lot of errors. Myself have been in the same situation while programming.

When I was tried to write a code in C language (though I'm not a good programmer of C language), For my friend's sake I have tried some code.

The most frustrating error came in to picture, called "Segmentation Fault". Took help of google and no clue why I was getting the error.

What I have understand about Segmentation fault is
"Segmentation fault appears as if it is not easy to understand;
when your trying to access the memory that is not allocated by you ...
then segmentation fault appears after executing a.out"

Let me explain you with an example

int a[5]; // Declare an array
printf("%d\n",a[6]); // Then try to print the last+n location of the array where n>0

You will get segmentation fault error.


How to over come this?

There are different debuggers to locate the memory area where the segmentation fault occurred.

Procedure:
  1. 1.c // Your file name
  2. gcc 1.c -g // Then compile it
  3. gdb a.out // Type at the command prompt/console
  4. Now you will get a prompt >>>
  5. Type 'r'
  6. Give the required input
  7. It will locate the memory area where your trying to access the memory
  8. u is not allocate by u (it will give the lines in the program 1.c here segmentation fault has occurred )

You can rely on gdb about 70% and there are also other debuggers
for which you can refer to the book "Linux is a Nutshell"

Changing MAC address of a system in Linux with root privileges

Hi Friends,

Have you ever tried to change the MAC address? It is so easy to do. Just follow the below steps.

  1. Login as root

  2. Write the MAC addresses of the system which u r going to change on a file or paper if you want the previous MAC addresses.

  3. Open terminal

  4. ifconfig eth0 down

  5. ifconfig eth0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

  6. ifconfig up

  7. ifconfig

Now your system MAC address will be changed to the specified MAC address. If any packet comes into the network to the specified MAC it will get confused where to go. If u specified the MAC address of the other system. i.e. if two system's MAC addresses are same.
