Hi,
This works fine if I don't use the -f option;
#!/usr/bin/python
from subprocess import call
from termcolor import colored
def slog():
sudo = "sudo"
tail = "tail"
sfile = "/var/log/messages"
print colored("<syslog>", "blue")
call([sudo, tail, sfile])
def alog():
sudo = "sudo"
tail = "tail"
afile = "/var/log/apache2/access_log"
print colored("<access_log>", "green")
call([sudo, tail, afile])
def elog():
sudo = "sudo"
tail = "tail"
afile = "/var/log/apache2/error_log"
print colored("<error_log>", "red")
call([sudo, tail, afile])
def main():
slog()
alog()
elog()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Now if I do this to all the functions;
def slog():
sudo = "sudo"
tail = "tail"
targ = "-f" # output appended data as the file grows
sfile = "/var/log/messages"
print colored("<syslog>", "blue")
call([sudo, tail, sfile])
Only the first function will print to the screen.
thanks in advance,
-david
