I run the server then execute the client. From the client I execute the
function key.watchos()
My goal is an administration tool
and this is just a function in my goal :-)

the function watchos is basically based off of Tim Goldens Directory
watching app
the function is as follows in entirety
def watchos(self, path_to_watch="C:\\"):
#get path or maintain current path of app
FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY = 0x0001
try: path_to_watch or "."
except: path_to_watch = "."
path_to_watch = os.path.abspath(path_to_watch)
out1 = "Watching %s at %s" % (path_to_watch, time.asctime()) +
"\n\n"
# FindFirstChangeNotification sets up a handle for watching
# file changes.
while 1:
hDir = win32file.CreateFile (
path_to_watch,
FILE_LIST_DIRECTORY,
win32con.FILE_SHARE_READ | win32con.FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
None,
win32con.OPEN_EXISTING,
win32con.FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS,
None
)
change_handle = win32file.ReadDirectoryChangesW (
hDir,
1024,
True,#Heap Size include_subdirectories,
win32con.FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_FILE_NAME |
win32con.FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIR_NAME |
win32con.FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_ATTRIBUTES |
win32con.FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SIZE |
win32con.FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE |
win32con.FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_SECURITY,
None,
None
)
# Loop forever, listing any file changes. The WaitFor... will
# time out every half a second allowing for keyboard
interrupts
# to terminate the loop.
ACTIONS = {
1 : "Created",
2 : "Deleted",
3 : "Updated",
4 : "Renamed from something",
5 : "Renamed to something"
}
results = change_handle
for action, files in results:
full_filename = os.path.join(path_to_watch, files)
theact = ACTIONS.get(action, "Unknown")
yield str(full_filename) + " " + str(theact)
and the rpc client is as follows
import xmlrpclib, code
# Specify IP of Server here defualt port is 9000
url = "http://127.0.0.1:8888";
sock = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy(url, allow_none=True, verbose=0)
# use the interactive console to interact example "key.keyit()" will
start the logger
interp = code.InteractiveConsole({'key': sock})
interp.interact("Use the keyword, \"key\" to interact with the server")
Sorry if I posted to much code :-)
Thank you in advance
