Programming :: Python Script Integration - Monitoring File?
Apr 5, 2011
Is there any way to make program in linux machine to make report when some files have been copy to another directory or machine and knows the users who copy the files, I am planning to make this program in c, honestly first time I want to make in python when I know about pyinotify and how easy to monitoring the file in machine, but the problem is I cannot integrate that script python to know the users who do that except for the one who create the file.

I've already used line split stuff to transform my data into something like this in a text file:
Code:
['1', '1', '3', '20.7505207']
['2', '1', '3', '23.0488319']
['3', '1', '3', '-1.5768747']
['4', '1', '3', '-26.4772491']
[code]....
How can I get this on a python program so I can manipulate it as an array?

I have managed to create a HTML file inside python code,convert this to a PNG file through a Python script ?
EDIT: Details added: I have a python script which generates map-legends in the form of an html file. The legend generated have to be pasted on a map which is in a png format. A png format file can be pasted on another png format file easily. But because the legends generated are in a html format I cannot paste it on the map file !!
EDIT: Details added: I did Googling first but it resulted in various soft wares for above purpose which I don't want !!

I've run into a little problem, for which I seem to be unable to find an answer. The concept is the following: one machine runs a python script which advertises itself as 'OBEX File Transfer' and receives incoming data, using the Lightblue python module. The script itself is slightly different, but here's an example which effectively works in the same way:
[Code]....
print "Saved received file to MyFile.txt!" This works fine, though I would like to retain the original filename that is being sent to the machine, instead of overwriting a fixed file. Generating a new name wouldn't be such a problem, if I could get the MIME type or filename which is (presumably) being sent in the header of the request. Does anyone know of a way in python to receive incoming files and retain their filenames via Bluetooth?

I'm trying to search for several strings, which I have in a .txt file line by line, on another file.
So the idea is, take input.txt and search for each line in that file in another file, let's call it rules.txt.
So far, I've been able to do this, to search for individual strings:
Code: Select allimport re
shakes = open("output.csv", "r")
for line in shakes:
if re.match("STRING", line):
print line,
How can I change this to input the strings to be searched from another file?
So far I haven't been able to.

I'm woring on a personal research project and would like to know if there are lilypond parsers for python available or I'll have to create my own. Just in case you are wondering: I don't need to typeset the content of the lilypond file, just understand what's written in the file (what notes, what duration, when in time to play each one, etc).

I have a Python script that copies a couple of DLL's and EXE to a directory before running the EXE. It can be a fresh copy or the files can already be in the target directory and are then overwritten. The script uses shutil.copy() to copy the files and that works but as the files are copying processing continues and the script tries to run the files mid copy, causing an error.
I need a way to wait for the files to finish copying before the script continues. Putting the thread to sleep isn't good enough, calling os.system("copy ...") also doesn't work, using os.path.exist() won't work because the file will exist during the copy.

I am developing a program in a system where the Linux does not take care of the sync command automatically. So I have to run it from my application always I save some data in the disk, which in my case is a 2GB sdcard. It is true that I can make the operation system takes care of the syncronization, using a proper mount option, but in this case the programm's performance drops drastically. In particular I use the shelve module from Python to save data that comes from a socket/TCP connection and I have to deal with the potencial risk of the system being turned off suddenly Initially I wrote something like that to save data using shelve:
Code:
def saveData(vo)
fd = shelve.open( 'fileName' , 'c')
fd[ key ] = vo
fd.close()
os.system("sync")
But that takes too much time to save the data. Note that I use the sync from the OS every time I close a file to prevent data corruption in the case of the "computer" being turned off with data even in the buffer. To improve the performance I made something like that:
Code:
def saveListData( list )
fd = shelve.open('file_name', 'c')
for itemVo in list:
fd[itemVo.key] = itemVo
fd.close()
os.system("sync")
Thus, first I saved an amount of objects in a list then I open the file and save the objects. In this way I have to open the file just one time to save a lot of objects.However I would like to know if adding a lot of objects before closing the file would increase the risk of data corruption.I known that turning off the system after fd.close() and before os.sync may cause problems. But what about turning off the system after
Code:
fd = shelve.open('file_name', 'c')
but before fd.close()?

I am trying to write a program that monitors when an lp or basically any sort of print command is issued. If a print command is detected I want to pause that job and ask the user if he / she wants to continue.
This program would run in the background all the time so it can't sit and eat up a lot of cpu. I tried a simple while loop that continuously monitored "ps" and that obviously boosted my cpu to 100%.

As a part of a school project I am working on monitoring context switches. I'm working on redhat 8.0, kernel version 2.4.18-14 and for some reason I keep getting unclassified reasons which causing context switches from a process to itself. I am trying to determine each context switch, what was the reason that causes it, whether time slice ended, or yielded, or went for waiting or returned from waiting or parameters changed or task ended to task forked or any possible reason.
But all the time I find that the only switches that I cannot determine the reason happens from a process to itself, all this unrecognized switches from process to itself happens only on interactive processes, and sometimes the need_resched flag is on and sometimes is off. What could possibly cause a context switch from a process to itself? Can a returning of a process with a lower (higher by number) priority from waiting cause a context switch?

NextPendingConnection () returns a new socket with respect to a new client. This new QSocket is passed to the connect () function which connects it to a SLOT 'xyz' with SIGNAL 'readyRead()'. Now in the SLOT 'xyz' how I am supposed to automate the monitoring of ALL connected sockets to see whether some data is available on them? One pathetic way would be to run all the sockets through a for loop and check each one of them for the data. Secondly, I read up on QSocketNotifier() here: [URL]. But I am not sure if that is the correct thing.

I'm running a Debian/Samba PDC on a Windows network. We desire to monitor a few network shares, so that whenever a change is made to a file in those, we have a log of who did it and when. Some capability of seeing what the change was, or a way of reverting it, would be nice luxuries. But username and timestamp are most important, if possible.
On the debian forums, someone advised using Tripwire for this purpose. didn't give much other advice about it so I kind of struck out on my own researching tripwire. got it installed, played wth it, and found it problematic, to say the least. It seems a bit much on the complexity and security side, and it seems more oriented towards maintaining system integrity, than monitoring documents. So far I've not managed to get a policy update working on account of a cascade of errors about a few hundred files under /proc disappearing, despite no changes to the system.so I'm wondering if anyone here has advice.
1. Does debian have this sort of functionality built in? is there a system log I can parse to get this information?
2. Is tripwire the right application for our purpose?
3. Is there anything better suited, more user-friendly or more parsimonious. I don't need something to monitor all system files, guard against intrusion, and make me cups of tea, just to monitor a few folders that I specify

At our company we have a central server with client files. This server has a SSH server installed, and through Nautilus all employees can access the files. However, I have a few questions:
1. Most employees need access to all folders, because they might use them at some point in time. However, I want to make sure they are not accessing things they do not need. How can I do this? For instance, if somebody copies all of the folders to his/her computer, I want to be able to see this in some sort of log. Can this be done? Copying and accessing in general is what is of my concern.
2. Some employees only need access to specific folders. Can this be easily configured with SFTP?
3. Some also use SSH and type commands which I want to check every now and then (e.g. to make sure an intern is not again copying information or accessing folders they should not be in). What is a good way to do this?

I am looking for a file monitor to tell me when a file was attempted to be accessed, but was denied. A windows equivalent could be the auditing feature in server 2k3. I don't know which account or which file is attempting to access or be accessed, but I was hoping something built into Linux would support some sort of file auditing for security purposes.

I am striving to setup OSSEC to monitor some specific files for realtime changes! Is this possible? I can't really find a lot of info from their Documentation
Some Examples:
/etc/myfile.txt is deleted. I need this to be reported.
/etc/myfile.txt is created again so I need this to be reported again!
This has to happen instantly though, because the file might be deleted and created again many times in a short period of time.. Another one...
/etc/passwd is touched (accessed) even if there is no changes! Can this be reported as well?

We are looking to monitor and log selected application file systems for file create/modify/delete changes that will also include, user account that changed/deleted the file, file name and date and time of event. Everything I have looked at does not seem to provide all of the information that we need.Inotify seems to monitor modify/create/delete but does not seem to provide the user account. Auditd seems to monitor modify/create/append with user account, but not deletes.We need to provide this information to auditing for Sarbane Oxley compliance.

I have an existing line of code from a P2 script that I cannot find a solution to converting to P3:
Code:
for i, x in map(None, list1, list2):
I have found the information about converting the simple case:
map(None,x) becomes list(x)
But my googling was unable to find a solution when more than one iterable exists.
