Hi all,
I have a problem with putting a job in the background. Here is my
(ugly) script which I am having problems getting to background. There
are threads about doing
python script.py &
and others
nohup python script.py &
and yet others
( python script.py > /dev/null & ) &
Regardless timing these all produce (roughly the same time) and none of
them are backgrounded.. So I attempted to first thread my little
script ( which I think is still needed for optimization purposes ) and
then I forked it. But it still does not background it.. Here is what
I have..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# File pushsync.py
#
#
import logging,traceback,os,sys,paramiko,threading
from RunSSHCmd import RunSSHCmd
# Set's up a basic logger
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format="%(asctime)s %(name)s
%(levelname)-8s %(message)s",
datefmt='%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S', stream=sys.stderr)
# This little mess identifies (hopefully) the current module name
try:
module=
os.path.basename(traceback.extract_stack(limit=2)[1][0]).split(".py")[0]+"."
except:
module =
os.path.basename(traceback.extract_stack(limit=2)[0][0]).split(".py")[0]+"."
# Class declarations
class syncer(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self,host,keyfile,passwd):
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.log = logging.getLogger(module+self.__class__.__name__)
self.keyfile = keyfile
self.passwd = passwd
self.host= host
def run(self):
# Import the key..
key = paramiko.DSSKey.from_private_key_file(self.keyfile,
password=self.passwd
agent_keys=[key]
print "Updating host %s" % self.host
results = RunSSHCmd( host=self.host, cmd="p4 sync", timeout=10,
keys=agent_keys ).run()
if results is None:
log.error("We had a problem..")
return results
# OK let's get busy
def main(hosts,keyfile, passwd):
# Fork You!
#
if os.fork() == 0:
os.setsid
sys.stdout = open("/dev/null", 'w')
sys.stdin = open("/dev/null", 'r')
log = logging.getLogger(module+sys._getframe().f_code.co_name )
for host in hosts:
log.info("Updating host %s" % host)
syncer(host,keyfile,passwd).start()
# General run..
if __name__ == '__main__':
# SSH Keyfile
KEYFILE=os.environ['HOME'] + '/.ssh/id_dsa'
PASSWD='YXV0MG1hdDM=\n'
# Perforce writable hosts
HOSTS="savoy", "phxlfs03"
main(HOSTS,KEYFILE,PASSWD)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now when I run this from the command line it appears to work. But when
I call it from my other app (perforce) it does not background it. I
can tell because I expect the command return immediately ( because of
the fork) but it doesn't and seems to take a very long time..
Can someone who's very familiar with this help me out please.
