I am working on a little project in python. i have produced this prototype
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: iso-8859-1 -*-
#DocC documentation prototype
[Code].....
I cannot redirect output from commands such as iptables, iptables-save, and ifconfig. For example, any of the following DOESN'T work ( as root ):
Code:
iptables > tmp
iptables-save > tmp
ifconfig > tmp
The file tmp is ALWAYS blank, that is, 0 bytes in size. Wackier things DO work, such as:
Code:
echo "`iptables-save`" > tmp
iptables-save | tee tmp
Other commands like:
Code:
ls > tmp
DO work as expected.
Note that this problem happens regardless if I log-in remotely via ssh or locally on the computer in question. I am clueless as to what is causing this. Any ideas?The box is running 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 and boots to runlevel 3. The modifications I've made to the box since installing the OS are things like compiling/installing latest OpenSSH,OpenSSL,httpd,BerkeleyDB,subversion,zlib etc -- nothing really out of the ordinary I'd say.
My platform is linux Centos 5. I have read that to learn programming is to read well-written code and take some project to work with. I am always fascinated by routers and firewalls. Like pfsense and vyatta. May be my searching skills are worst but i am not able to find any good tutorials. Ofcourse i dont expect anyone to write a complete router on their blog but wasnt even close to it.

How can I get this on a python program so I can manipulate it as an array?
I am trying to write .pgm images using the O_DIRECT flag in open().I have a char* buffer which has the image data. I know that I have to align the buffers and have done that using posix_memalign() yet only a part of the image gets written.Has someone used O_DIRECT for writing files successfully?

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 am trying to read a file character wise and trying to write the same character to another file. In this process, I unable to read and write white spaces successfully to the new file. The script reads the white spaces but while writing the white space is lost. The section of the code, is given below. Please advice how can i read and retain the white space while writing to a new file.

My program need to monitor the foler to know which file under the folder is being opened/created for writing. I add the folder into watch list using inotify_add_watch, when a file -- say 'AA' -- is created, I'll get the event through read api call. But the inotify_event only have file name 'AA' and a event mask. these parameters can't help me to know how the 'AA' is created/openned. So I have to scan the /proc folder to get to know how is 'AA' created/openned. I don't think this is a efficient way, especially if there are lots of files are openned/created in a short time span.

i am working on this thread: [URL] if it is better to open a file every time i need to write to it or should i keep a file open the whole time and when i am done with the script, close it and sendmail it out?
Or i just thought of this: i could keep concatenating to a string and just sendmail when done.
so far I have this
list = open('list.txt')
for x in list:
list.read(x)

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 new to UNIX scripting; I�m stuck with the following I have an Oracle SQL script that takes three parameters
1- File Name
2- File Path
3- File creation date
Under UNIX I have a folder where files will be placed frequently and I need to upload those files to Oracle, what I need is a UNIX script that can do the following
Loop through Directory "/home/applmgr/snktmp"
Picks only files
Pass the file name to parameter &1
[code]....
Is the above possible? I already knows how to call the Oracle Script from UNIX Im only stuck on writing the UNIX part where it List the files attribute(name,path,date) and store them to parameters ,Looping until the last file in the directory If the above is not possible,then how can I create the below from the command line
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate
Filename{concatenation Mark}filePath{concatenation Mark}creationdate
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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 want to be able to do
sudo ./program.py
instead of always having to do
sudo python program.py
What do I need to change?
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'm learning c but then when i tried looping as i follow a tutorial, the numbers are wierd that it seems not right..
This is the example.
