This function: def scp(from_path,to_path,pwd): """Copy a file with scp.""" cmd = '/bin/csh -c "scp -q %s %s ; echo XXX"' %(from_path,to_path) print cmd child = pexpect.spawn(cmd) child.expect('Password:') child.sendline(pwd) child.expect('XXX') return child.exitstatus
always returns None. This one: def scp(from_path,to_path,pwd): """Copy a file with scp.""" cmd = 'scp -q %s %s ' %(from_path,to_path) print cmd child = pexpect.spawn(cmd) child.expect('Password:') child.sendline(pwd) child.interact() return child.exitstatus will return the correct exit status. The big problem is that I would like to run this function from a cron job. Inside a cron job, interact() will not work because it is not connected to a real terminal. How can I get the exit status code? Please help me. Les -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
