Hi all,
I thought I had my solution with subprocess ... my test code ...
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: iso8859_1 -*-
import subprocess
a = subprocess.Popen('tasklist.exe', bufsize=0, stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
universal_newlines=True)
op = a.stdout.readlines()
for i in op:
if i.split(' ')[0] == 'gmanager.exe':
f = open('E:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop\gsr_running', 'w')
f.close()
works a treat when I run it as proc.py detects the process I am looking for &
writes a dummy file to the desktop. :) but I get a black windows terminal
flash up.
The code will eventually run in an app.pyw so to check it would be OK I
renamed my working proc.py to proc.pyw - it fails :(, No window (as
expected), no dummy file (not expected) - the process gmanager.exe is
running.
So there seems to be a problem with subprocess & pyw
Googling I found ...
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1358527&group_id=5470
So I tried the suggested workaround with proc.pyw ...
#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: iso8859_1 -*-
import subprocess
a = subprocess.Popen('tasklist.exe', bufsize=0, stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, universal_newlines=True)
op = a.stdout.readlines()
a.stdin.close()
for i in op:
if i.split(' ')[0] == 'gmanager.exe':
f = open('E:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop\gsr_running', 'w')
f.close()
Still zip, and because there is no terminal, I cannot view any errors !
Any suggestions welcome :)
Dave
