hey all....this is a snippet of code which I am going to use to call a function called trace(), which traceroute's to a specified host. what I want to do here is traceroute continuously until a user-specified time.
this code is not returning the right times, and no matter what time I enter in, the program says it is roughly twice what the current time is and the difference is always 1024 seconds. have I got the types right? there is probably something small I'm missing. this will take some knowledge of <time.h> to solve. #include<sys/time.h> int option, quit = 1, temp1 = 0, temp2 = 0; double difference = 0; time_t stoptime ; time_t now; struct tm stop; now = time(NULL); while(quit != 0) { printf("Please enter option.\n\n"); printf("1 Conduct a fixed number of Traceroutes.\n"); printf("2 Conduct Traceroutes Until a specific Time.\n"); printf("3 Quit\n\n\n"); scanf("%d", &option); switch(option) { case 1 rintf("Please enter the time you would like to run Traceroute until.\n\n");printf("\nYear: YYYY\n"); scanf("%d", &temp1); stop.tm_year = temp1 - 1900; printf("\nMonth: 1-12\n"); scanf("%d", &temp2); stop.tm_mon = temp2 - 1; printf("\nday of the month: 0-31\n"); scanf("%d", &stop.tm_mday); printf("\nhour (24hour clock):\n"); scanf("%d", &stop.tm_hour); printf("\nminute:\n"); scanf("%d", &stop.tm_min); printf("\nsecond:\n"); scanf("%d", &stop.tm_sec); if(mktime(&stop) == -1) { printf("Error getting time.\n"); } stoptime = mktime(&stop); now = time(NULL); printf("stop = %d\n", &stoptime); printf("now = %d\n", &now); difference = difftime(now, stoptime); printf("difference in seconds: %f.\n", &difference); /* for(; now < stoptime; now = time(NULL)) { trace(ip); } quit = 0; */ break; |

well, I'm a moron, don't bother replying, I figured it out.....I'm an idiot!
