Two programs are required: a server program “overseer” and a client program “controller”, networked via BSD sockets (as covered in week 7).

The usage of the overeseer is shown below. overseer The usage of the controller is shown below. controller
{[-o out_file] [-log log_file] [-t seconds] [arg...] | mem [pid] | memkill }- < > angle brackets indicate required arguments.

- ... ellipses indicate an arbitrary quantity of arguments.
- { } braces indicate required, mutually exclusive options, separated by pipes |. That is, one and only one of the following must be chosen: – [-o out_file] [-log log_file] [-t seconds] [arg...] – mem [pid] – memkill
