[Tutor] launching and monitor from make
All, I have a very simple python program that reads one file and overwrites anouther text file. This workes great from the command line and it has error checking but just outputs messages and the like to the screen. The CM team here would like to have the script run each week as part of the automated rebuilds. The suggestion was to make the execution of the scritp part of the bigger programs make file. How would I handel errors when the program is run from a makefile? I hate make so I have not done a lot of playing with what make can do in this respect but can python get an error message to make? Thanks, John Ertl ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Ewald, That easy...If you know. Thanks for the example and the help. Now lets see if I can modify the make file without upsetting the make god. Thanks again.

I think your Python-Script is an executeable Shell-Script with #!/usr/bin/env python ... So you can just insert your script in the makefile When the exit-Code of the script is 0, than make assumes that everything is ok, otherwise an error occured. Here's a short example with ls Here the mkfile want's to list the file hugo which does not exist mkfile: all: ls -l hugo -- #gmake -f mkfile ls -l hugo hugo: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden gmake: *** [all] Error 2 Here the mkfile itself is listed with ls mkfile: all: ls -l mkfile -- #gmake -f mkfile ls -l mkfile -rw-rw-r-- 1 ewer entw 19 Okt 12 16:35 mkfile HTH Ewald Ertl ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

You can write the errors to stderr instead of stdout. You can also exit with an error code using sys.exit(). make should detect the non standard error code because it uses standard shell processing..

Alan, Thanks, just as you and Ewald said it works great. Almost too easy...I have this feeling something will turn around a bite me once it goes to ops.
