Basically what i want to do is to read a file that is being constantly appended to but which is located on a remote server. I found this for doing BASH's tail -f in python:
import os tailoutputfile = os.popen('tail -f syslog') while 1: line = tailoutputfile.readline() if len(line)==0: # change the termination condition break process_line(line) and it works great. But not sure how to use this with ssh command to connect to remote machine. Any tips? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
