My Django application successfully executes functions belonging to
user amr. I want to execute an external command line application from
views.py
def exec_external_cmd(cmd_line):
retcode = None
try:
process = Popen(cmd_line, bufsize=2048, executable="/bin/
bash", shell=True, stdout=None, stderr=None)
while retcode == None:
retcode = process.poll()
if retcode < 0:
print >>sys.stderr, "Child was terminated by signal", -
retcode
elif retcode > 0:
print >>sys.stderr, "Child returned", retcode
except OSError, e:
print >>sys.stderr, "Execution failed:", e
return retcode
def proc_inv_file(request):
info_dict = {}
errors = []
inventory_file = ''
inventory_file_path = ''
if request.method == 'GET':
if not request.GET.get('inventory_file', ''):
errors.append('Please enter a valid inventory file name.')
else:
if not request.GET.get('inventory_file_path', ''):
errors.append('Please enter a valid inventory file
name path.')
else:
inventory_file = request.GET.get('inventory_file', '')
inventory_file_path =
request.GET.get('inventory_file_path', '')
cmd_line = "/home/amr/bin/invXfer.py " + " " +
inventory_file + " " + inventory_file_path
rc = exec_external_cmd(cmd_line)
If I run invXfer.py logged in as amr, it runs fine. From Django I get
an error, 1.
How can I launch an external program as the logged in user from
Django?
Thanks.
