hi,
I'm trying to write a python cgi script that can control certain processes on my server, but I'm having some trouble.
The script is;
#!/usr/bin/python
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n" import os cmd = "/bin/ps" status = os.system(cmd) print status
which seems straight forward, but I get a server error, and
malformed header from script. Bad header= PID TTY TIME CMD:
appears in the apache logs. The PID TTY etc indicates it's getting the ps response, but why won't it display (even with text/plain)?
Ultimately I'll have the content type as html, and I'm going to preprocess the output of ps so it probably won't cause any problems, but I just don't understand why this isn't working in its simple form?
btw, the final idea is to list the processes corresponding to a certain name, and allow users to stop them or create new ones. I'm assuming this should be do-able?
