How to execute commands in internal zones of solaris using python
running from the global zone ?
i tried --
1> os.popen("zlogin <zone1>")
2> os.popen("zonename")
the 2nd command executes back into the global zone and not into the
internal zone
can anyone help?

Very probably you didn't want to start two pipes (two processes on your
host)
Can you ssh or rsh to zone 1?
Then you want probably something like:
os.popen('echo zonename | ssh <zone1>')
If not you could look at pexpect, though I didn't use it myself so far.
just look at the thread 'SSH utility' to get some examples.
you just had to replace 'ssh' with 'zlogin'
( http://www.noah.org/wiki/Pexpect )
Or you could try popen2, http://docs.python.org/lib/module-popen2.html
Strange thing is though, that popen doesn't seem to exist on my python.
Perhaps it's not a standard library.
No idea. I myself am rather new to python :-(
However if you want to try popen2 read also 17.4.2 'Flow Control Issues'
in order to be sure, that your program doesn't deadlock
[ z1_stdin , z1_stdout ] = os.popen2('ssh <zone1')
z1_stdin.write('zonename\n')
z1_stdout.readline()
