I am using Python to execute an external program by simply using Python's "os" library:
os.system("./script1") # script1 generates several log files and the most important for me is "info.log" !
os.system("./script2") # script2 uses the output from script1
The problem is that those scripts are in 50000 element "for loop" and "script1" needs at least 2 min to finish its job (it has fixed time duration)
In the first 1-2 sec I can find out whether I need the output data or not by looking in to the "info.log" file. However, as "script1" is an already compiled program and I can't modify it, I have to wait until it finishes.
I was thinking about a method in Bash that allows me to run two processes at the same time:
one is to start ./script1 and the other is to monitor any change in the "info.log" file...
If "info.log" has been updated or changed in size, then the second script should terminate both processes.
Something like:
os.system("./mercury6 1 > ./energy.log 2>/dev/null & sleep 2 & if [ $(stat -c %s ./info.log) -ge 1371]; then kill %1; else echo 'OK'; fi")
– which does not work...
Please, if someone knows a method, let me know!
I would suggest using subprocess, with a combination of this answer describing how to kill a bash script along with some method of monitoring the file, something like watchdog, or a simple polling loop.
import os
import time
os.system("script1")
while True: # Now this would run in 10 sec cycles and checks the output of the logs
try: # And you don't have the wait the whole 2 mins to script1 to be ready
o = open("info.log", "r") # or add os.system("script2") here
# Add here more logs
break
except:
print "waiting script1 to be ready.."
time.sleep(10) # Modify (seconds) to be sufficient to script1 to be ready
continue
You can try this one. Tell me if script1 pauses on runtime so we could try to configure it further.
#!/bin/bash
[ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ] || {
echo "You need Bash to run this script."
exit 1
}
set +o monitor ## Disable job control.
INFO_LOG='./info.log'
if [[ ! -f $INFO_LOG ]]; then
# We must create the file.
: > "$INFO_LOG" || {
echo "Unable to create $INFO_LOG."
exit 1
}
fi
read FIRSTTIMESTAMP < <(stat -c '%s' "$INFO_LOG") && [[ $FIRSTTIMESTAMP == +([[:digit:]]) ]] || {
echo "Unable to get stat of $INFO_LOG."
exit 1
}
# Run the first process with the script.
./script1 &
SCRIPT1_PID=$!
disown "$SCRIPT1_PID"
# Run the second process.
(
function kill_processes {
echo "Killing both processes."
kill "$SCRIPT1_PID"
exit 1
}
[[ -f $INFO_LOG ]] || {
echo "File has been deleted."
kill_processes
}
read NEWTIMESTAMP < <(stat -c '%s' "$INFO_LOG") && [[ $NEWTIMESTAMP == +([[:digit:]]) ]] || {
echo "Unable to get new timestamp of $INFO_LOG."
kill_processes
}
[[ NEWTIMESTAMP -ne FIRSTTIMESTAMP ]] || {
echo "$INFO_LOG has changed."
kill_processes
}
sleep 4s
) &
disown "$!"
You might also want to check some other similar solutions here: linux script with netcat stops working after x hours
(
function kill_processes {
echo "Killing both processes."
kill "$mercury6_PID"
exit 1
}
while IFS= read -r LINE; do
[[ "${LINE}" == "ejected" ]] && { ## Perhaps it should be == *ejected* ?
echo "$INFO_LOG has changed."
kill_processes
}
done < <(tail -f "$INFO_LOG")
) &
disown "$!"
It has been done ! not so elegant but it works! this is the code:
#!/bin/bash
[ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ] || {
echo "You need Bash to run this script."
exit 1
}
# set +o monitor ## Disable job control.
INFO_LOG="./info.out"
# Run the first process with the script.
./mercury6 1 > ./energy.log 2>/dev/null &
mercury6_PID=$!
disown "$mercury6_PID"
# Run the second process.
(
sleep 5
function kill_processes {
echo "Killing both processes."
kill "$mercury6_PID"
exit 1
}
while IFS= read -r LINE; do
[[ "${LINE}" == "ejected" ]] || [[ "${LINE}" == "complete." ]] && {
echo "$INFO_LOG has changed."
killall tail
kill_processes
}
done < <(tail -f "$INFO_LOG")
)
#&
#disown "$!"
If you have any recommendations you are very welcome! BTW I will try to make it with os.fork() in python as well.
Thanks again!
See here (Google is your friend). You can make the processes background tasks with the & sign, then use wait to have the parent process wait for its children.

so i dont know python, but trying to work out this script to search all m3u8's instead of just 1 of the same name in both folders.
For Example i would like to use all_streams.m3u8 in one folder
and then use pluto.m3u8, Freeview.m3u8, yt.m3u8, and any other m3u8 that are in the 2nd folder..
So it would merge the all_streams.m3u8 with pluto.m3u8, freeview.m3u8, yt.m3u8 and any other m3u8's
These 2 scripts are meant to merge m3u8's and remove the all the excess junk from the files so that the main file can be read using any player.
Heres the 2 scripts, the bash and python:-
merge_m3u8_files_in_dirs.sh

For example the normal *.m3u8 doesnt work, sadly i dont know enough of python to get it to work..
I am running this command through on bash console through iTerm
{ cd /usr/local/path/to/code; echo "hi1"; sudo chmod 777 /tmp/dissolve.log; echo "hi2"; python someapp/runner.py dissolve; echo "hi3"; } > /tmp/dissolve.log &
on tailing the file i get :
tail: /tmp/dissolve.log: file truncated
hi1
hi2
I am not able to figure out why i am not getting output of file python someapp/runner.py dissolve, when i do cmd + c, the expected output is appearing on tail log.
code snippet from runner.py:
if __name__ == '__main__':
program_name = sys.argv[1]
if program_name == 'dissolve':
obj = SomeClass() # this is properly imported
obj.some_function() # this has lot of `print` statements, which i intened to catch in '/tmp/dissolve.log'
Is the initial print inside some_function() passing the values some where other than the /tmp/dissolve.log?
Any suggestion why this could be happening?
This seems like a buffering issue, as you are sending the output to a file. You can force line buffering with stdbuf, like this:
{ cd /usr/local/path/to/code;
echo "hi1";
sudo chmod 777 /tmp/dissolve.log;
echo "hi2";
stdbuf -oL python someapp/runner.py dissolve;
echo "hi3"; } > /tmp/dissolve.log &
Going through the answers at superuser.
I'm trying to modify this to listen for multiple strings and echo custom messages such as ; 'Your server started successfully' etc
I'm also trying to tack it to another command i.e. pip
wait_str() {
local file="$1"; shift
local search_term="Successfully installed"; shift
local search_term2='Exception'
local wait_time="${1:-5m}"; shift # 5 minutes as default timeout
(timeout $wait_time tail -F -n0 "$file" &) | grep -q "$search_term" && echo 'Custom success message' && return 0 || || grep -q "$search_term2" && echo 'Custom success message' && return 0
echo "Timeout of $wait_time reached. Unable to find '$search_term' or '$search_term2' in '$file'"
return 1
}
The usage I have in mind is:
pip install -r requirements.txt > /var/log/pip/dump.log && wait_str /var/log/pip/dump.log
To clarify, I'd like to get wait_str to stop tailing when pip exits, whether successfully or not.
Following is general answer and tail could be replaced by any command that result in stream of lines.
IF different string needs different actions then use following:
tail -f var/log/pip/dump.log |awk '/condition1/ {action for condition-1} /condition-2/ {action for condition-2} .....'
If multiple conditions need same action them ,separate them using OR operator :
tail -f var/log/pip/dump.log |awk '/condition-1/ || /condition-2/ || /condition-n/ {take this action}'
Based on comments : Single awk can do this.
tail -f /path/to/file |awk '/Exception/{ print "Worked"} /compiler/{ print "worked"}'
or
tail -f /path/to/file | awk '/Exception/||/compiler/{ print "worked"}'
OR Exit if match is found
tail -f logfile |awk '/Exception/||/compiler/{ print "worked";exit}'

Im think i have missed something as when i type daemonLCD start it says command not found.
Any input would be great.
Thanks
Assuming you may want to manage more than one daemon in the future, let me recommend Supervisord. It's much simpler than writing and managing your own init.d scripts.
For example, starting your script would be as easy as including this in the conf:
[program:myscript]
command=/usr/bin/python /path/to/myscript.py
I use an init.d script available here. Rename it to supervisord and copy it to your /etc/init.d/ then run:
sudo update-rc.d supervisord defaults
I believe that init script has supervisord run as root as default. You can have it drop to run as another user if you like. I'm not if children run as root or not, although I'd assume not. Go ahead and check, but if they don't you can stick a sudo before the python command in your supervisord.conf where you call the script.
It that doesn't run, (or if you want supervisord to run as a non-root but still want your script run as root) you can allow for anyone (or a group of users) to run the python script as root (although you should make quite certain that this script cannot be edited by anyone other than root).
edit your sudoers file with "sudo visudo" and add the following to the end:
USERS ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/myscript.py
Then make sure you have a shebang at the beginning of your python script and change the command to omit the python call, i.e:
[program:myscript]
command=sudo /path/to/myscript.py
Here's a good blog post which deals with this question: Getting a Python script to run in the background (as a service) on boot
Use daemontools from djb. It is a lot easier than the other answers provided. For starters you can install daemon tools with apt-get so you do not need to worry about grabbing an unknown script from a gist and you get updates through debian like normal. daemontools also takes care of restarting the service if it dies and provides for logging. There is a description of daemontools and debian here:
http://blog.rtwilson.com/how-to-set-up-a-simple-service-to-run-in-the-background-on-a-linux-machine-using-daemontools/
djb's page aout daemontools:
http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html
This is a classic mistake new Unix/Linux users make. /etc/init.d isn't in your path which is why you can't just run daemonLCD. Try using the full path (/etc/init.d/daemonLCD start) or prepending ./ (./daemonLCD start).
The script needs to be executable for either of the above to work.
thanks for the code above. I've been using it to figure out how to set up a daemon on a linux machine.
With some tweaking I could get it to work quite well.
But something puzzled me. And that was checking if the process was running, by checking the exists of the /var/run/myfile.pid
That's just the pidfile - NOT the process, right?
Take a look at /lib/lsb/init-functions.status_of_proc
status_of_proc () {
local pidfile daemon name status OPTIND
pidfile=
OPTIND=1
while getopts p: opt ; do
case "$opt" in
p) pidfile="$OPTARG";;
esac
done
shift $(($OPTIND - 1))
if [ -n "$pidfile" ]; then
pidfile="-p $pidfile"
fi
daemon="$1"
name="$2"
status="0"
pidofproc $pidfile $daemon >/dev/null || status="$?"
if [ "$status" = 0 ]; then
log_success_msg "$name is running"
return 0
elif [ "$status" = 4 ]; then
log_failure_msg "could not access PID file for $name"
return $status
else
log_failure_msg "$name is not running"
return $status
fi
}
That's only dealing with the success or failure of accessing the PID file.
Now, I'm building this daemon to go on a small device. I've discovered it's using BusyBox and I don't have init-functions :-(
But I do have pidof.
So I added
log_success_msg "pidof $NAME is $(pidof -x $NAME)" >> $LOGFILE
log_success_msg "PIDFILE of $NAME is" >> $LOGFILE
sed -n '1p' < $PIDFILE >> $LOGFILE
and checked $LOGFILE and lo and behold the numbers are different.
I did pstree -s -p on both numbers and
the pidof number spits out a very short tree, so it's for the root level process
but the $PIDFILE number vomits out branch after branch, so I don't think pstree can find the process.
Yes, the do_stop in Joseph Baldwin Roberts's code will kill both processes. But if the process is killed in another way e.g. kill -9 12345, the $PIDFILE is still there. So, the daemon will falsely believe the process is already running an refuse to start.
I am sorry for my bad english.

If just triggering the script from Python is enough, use subprocess.call from the standard library. From looking at your script, I guess it's being run on a number of remote hosts, probably in parallel. You might want to have a look at the excellent fabric module. It's a wrapper around paramiko which greatly facillitates running commands both locally and remotely and transfering files up and down.
