Execute a script on a remote machine
Hi, My requirement is i have to execute a python script on a remote machine as a subprocess from a python script and to get the subprocess pid of the process running the script. Is there anyway to do that?? I have used subprocess.popen() method to do that. I have done as following: executable = '/usr/bin/rsh' args = [executable, hostname, scriptname] pid = subprocess.popen(args) It returned the pid of rsh. But i am interested in the pid of the process running the script. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks, Srini Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage.

Using os.getpid() you can find out the pid of the script and communicate it back to the caller. -- Gerhard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This is ok. Is there any other way to find it out?

The remote script must communicate the PID back. Just writing it remotely as first line and on the client side reading the first line via the subprocess module could do the trick. - -- Gerhard -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIXAZFdIO4ozGCH14RAoGIAJ4jiEc/389uzBPkRWVMQJnJSEOM6ACfQ0ra UXbXtTl6StW62Xq5MyD7+Yw= =S4XS -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
