hi all, i am new to python programming, so thanks for your patience in advance.
I have a small script that I am working on that i want to restart multiple instances of apaches on our developers servers. We have about 25 developers each with their own apache. <snip> import sys, os try: file = open("users.dat", "r") except IOError, message: print >> sys.stderr, "File could not be opened:", message sys.exit( 1 ) fdata = file.xreadlines() for data in fdata: fields = data.split("_") # print "USER: " + fields[0] + " ADDRESS: " + fields[1].strip("\n") print '/etc/init.d/httpd_' + fields[0] + ' restart </snip> each users apache is named 'httpd_{user}' I am not sure how to do this cleanly other than in a shell script. I want to restart the apache and wait until complete to restart the next users apache. Any advice is appreciated .. again, thanks for your time. -mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
