Hi,

I was wondering if it possible to write a python wrapper which will account my
processes. I would like to account for all the children processes (fork) by
looking at their /proc/<pid> info. Such as memory, io, open files, stats.

So, instead of me running "/bin/sleep 10", i would like to run it as "pywrap.py
/bin/sleep 10" and it will do an exec /bin/sleep 10 and do a periodic snapshot
for whats in /proc/<pid>/stats.

Something like this is approximately the right structure for such a program.


#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import subprocess
import time


PERIOD = 1.0  # seconds


def check_stats(pid):
    # You will have to implement this.
    # Check out psutil:
    #   https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil
    print 'Checking process {0}'.format(pid)


def main():
    cmd = sys.argv[1:]
    p = subprocess.Popen(cmd)
    while p.poll() is None:
        check_stats(p.pid)
        # There are more accurate ways to do this, but this probably
        # suffices for you.
        time.sleep(PERIOD)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
