I'm trying to read the content of a file to specify the name of a server to a
python script. If I set the variable directly, it works fine If I read the
file, the script fails with a 'can't find server' error.
Setting the hostname directly is easy enough:
SERVER_NAME = fqdn.domain.net
That works fine... Adding a print to the script prints the appropriate hostname.
If, however, I try to read the filename from a file, I get what amounts to a
host not found error:
f1 = open('/path/to/file', 'r')
SERVER_NAME = f1.read()
f1.closed
And again, printing the variable prints the correct hostname, but when the
script attempts to access the host, it can't find the host.
Ideas?
