Hi ! I want to write a program that backup some databases in the night.
Pseudo like this: try: if cmd('net stop dbservice'): s=c://backup'+str(time.time())+'.zip' if cmd('zipit c:\\database '+s): if cmd('map drive \\\\backupdrive\\c$ y -user BACKUP -pwd SECRET'): if cmd('copy '+s+' y:\\'): LogSucc() finally: cmd('net start dbservice') I'm trying with os.system() commands. But that is printing the result message to the screen, not to a tuple, like commands.|getstatusoutput(). I need to store this message, because I want to log everything that this program do/print; every of the messages. So: how to I capture the screen, or how to I use |commands.|getstatusoutput() to access the Windows batch/cmd commands, and get their errors/statuses ? Please help me !
