Hi, the following is code snippet I used to run plink command from Python. If I run plink command directly it pops out a command prompt window. To make the command promot window invisible I used WMI as follows. The command runs perfect. But it throughs the error following the code snipet.
def run_command(): cmd="plink -v -N -batch -l username-pw password-L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 dbb.mydatabase.com" c = wmi.WMI () startup = c.Win32_ProcessStartup.new (ShowWindow=win32con.SW_HIDE) pid, result = c.Win32_Process.Create(CommandLine=cmd,ProcessStartupInformation=startup) D:\...\...\library.zip\wmi.py:215: FutureWarning: hex()/oct() of negative int will return a signed string in Python 2.4 and up Unhandled exception in thread started by <function run_command at 0x00D05130> Traceback (most recent call last): File "newfma.py", line 159, in run_command File "wmi.pyc", line 975, in connect File "wmi.pyc", line 220, in handle_com_error wmi.x_wmi: 0x800401e4 - Invalid syntax Can anyone tell me why is this error arising. And can avoid this error. Thank you, sudhir. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
