Hi,
This is my first post. I'm a sysadmin and I'm new enough to python so I'm
trying to practice.
I'm want to run a script that takes a server name from the command line and
takes that servername which queries an internal asset database. I thought I
could use the os module to take servername and run a command against it to
query the database and then populate a variable. If the variable is equal to
none it produces an error message in red, if it's successful then it prints it
in green. I left a comment in for the first.
Basically I have trouble with two things:
1) Get the server to take the hostname and use it to run a command against
it
2) Send a variable (as opposed to a string) to the function to print
Thanks for reading geveryone!
