[Tutor] pass arg to list
Hi, I'm trying to pass arguments to list. This script needs to generate csv files. I want to pass the version and build number to the script and it should be passed to the list. My script below is blowing index out of range after adding the args. However, if I hardcode the version, it works fine. Kindly advise. # User Args version = sys.argv[1] build = sys.argv[2] add_file = ( ['AddFile', 109102010, 'Product-'+version + 'Package (Build' + build + ')', 'Product-'+version+'-b'+build+'-package.pkg', 'Product-'+version + 'Service Package (Build' + build + ')', version, ''], ) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/atamsekar/Projects/PulseSO/trunk/swrelease/samplexls.py", line 5, in version = sys.argv[1] IndexError: list index out of range Process finished with exit code 1 -Thanks, Anirudh Tamsekar ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

[Tutor] datetime substraction
Hi,
I'm writing a script to monitor rsyslog (second level check).
Overview:
We have Monit for monitoring rsyslog, however we need a script to do a
second level checks.
I'm looking for a script which will check if rsyslog is being updated, also
log rotation is happening.
Incase of the new file created by logrotate, script should monitor the
latest file. Also monitor last modified time and tail of the log.
Filename Ex. 20140826_debug_log (datechanges with log rotate)
In case of any issues such as file not being updated within the interval of
5 min, alert with disk status.
I have written a script, however I'm not able to get the date substraction
math right, getting the following error
(Searched google and other resources too).
*Traceback (most recent call last):*
* File "./rsyslog_check.py", line 22, in *
*difft=cur_time-mt*
*TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'str'*
Request your help. Also point any good documentation where I can get quick
reference.
