If I want to write this command to a file, would this be the right format? ********************************* import subprocess
(all my variables defined okay) perl_script=subprocess.call(['perl',perl_prog,ipfile,cmd,user,timeout,]) log=open('/tmp/pythonOutput.txt',w) log.write(subprocess.call(perl_script)) ********************************* The program runs (and outputs stuff on the screen okay), but when I "cat /tmp/pythonOutput.txt", nothing is there. (While I'm not waiting for the entire program to run across all the IP addresses, I would think that something would be go out into that log file.) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
