In fact, I want to do 3 three things
1) Check if the system is Solaris.
2) If it is Solaris, check if 'arch -k' prints 'sun4v'
3) If both 1 and 2 are true, copy a file.
Since arch -k is not supported on all systems, the test for Solaris must
be made first.
I have a test for Solaris (aka SunOS), which copies a file if the
systems is running Solaris:
import os, shutil
if os.uname()[0] == 'SunOS':
shutil.copy2('foo.c','bar.c')
How can I change that, so the copy is only performed if 'arch -k' prints
'sun4v'?
Actually, when I look at oluname, it does print sunnv:
>>> import os
>>> os.uname()
('SunOS', 't2', '5.10', 'Generic_141414-02', 'sun4v')
I guess all I need to do is check for the value of os.uname()[4] too.
