I should begin by explaining I am not a sysadmin, I'm merely one trying to use the right tool for the right job, and for my job I believe Python to be that tool. Here is an outline of what I wish to accomplish, pointers to modules, tools of interest, etc. would be greatly appreciated... Below each number I propose the modules I've found, but please let me know if there are better ones.. or others I should be aware of. Also, any good resources regarding #2?? Thanks in advance!!
1) Maintain a mysql database which contains information, as well as 'control' variables, pointers to directories, etc. for various shell scripts / fortran code. ->pyMySQL 2) Query various servers to see if there is 'idyl' time/resources... send a job to the server if it's available... ???????? 3) Use python to check the file system for existing files (glob?) , decide which 'jobs' need to be run, etc. ->os, sys, glob 4) Use python as glue between the db and the shell /fortran routines. For this I picture python querying the db, 'writing' new CONTROL files, and using subprocess to run the scripts / fortran. ->sys, os, subprocess 5) Update the db with information regarding the status of the various scripts / fortran. ->pyMySQL 6) Have a portion of the information available to a plone site for dynamic html generation. ->ZMySQLDBConn ->Z SQL Methods -- Configuration `````````````````````````` Plone 2.5.3-final, CMF-1.6.4, Zope (Zope 2.9.7-final, python 2.4.4, linux2), Five 1.4.1, Python 2.4.4 (#1, Jul 3 2007, 22:58:17) [GCC 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-51)], PIL 1.1.6
