Hi guys,
On a Debian Bullseye server I have a lftp upload and after it I should
send an email.
I thought to read the lftp log file where I have these lines:
2023-01-30 18:30:02
/home/my_user/local_folder/upload/my_file_30-01-2023_18-30.txt ->
sftp://ftp_user@ftpserver_ip:2201/remote_ftp_folder/my_file_30-01-2023_18-30.txt 0-1660576 4.92 MiB/s

/home/my_user/local_folder/upload/my_file_02-02-2023_18-30.txt ->
sftp://ftp_user@ftpserver_ip:2201/remote_ftp_folder/my_file_02-02-2023_18-30.txt 0-603093 3.39 MiB/s
I'd like to use Python to check, from monday to friday (the lftp script
runs in crontab from monday to friday) when the upload works is finished
and I should send an email.
I could read by Python lftp.log and after it if there's a line with the
same day of the machine I could send an email with ok otherwise the
email will send a message with "no upload".
How could I do by Python?
Not Python, but you could run a shell script that sends the file with
lftp, and depending on the return code uses xdg-email to send one of the
two messages. This would probably be simpler than using Python.
Otherwise you haven't said what part of the process you need help with.
Reading the log file? Checking the date? Triggering the Python script?
Sending the email message with Python?
For the latter, it's covered in the Python docs -
