I've also gotten pretty good at the whole 'site moderator' thing (ie: this new thread in your name).
It's really no annoyance. If we didn't enjoy this forum and the work entailed in keeping it alive and growing, we wouldn't be posting, etc. here.
Probably the best (safest) way to run a script periodically would be to schedule a task in the OS. Windows (in your case, I believe) uses the "Scheduled Tasks" applet in the Control Panel. On *nix, it's cron.
The reason for using the OS instead of a Python timer or scheduler is that the interface is guaranteed to be running even when your computer is first booted. If you would rather require that a Python script be running (it would be a great feature if you could shut down the task with out using the Task Manager (or ps)), then I could probably whip us some running examples which you could then fine tune. I strongly suggest the former solution, though.
Hi Bartonc,
I did the find the below script, to implement
a timer to ping each minute and stop in 24 hrs.
according to your script (below) where should I place
the following properly ? (did try several combinaisons but unsuc).
Or do you have a better idea ? (answer is probably yes : ) ! -
-
insert time
-
the_time = time.time()
-
start_time = the_time
-
end_time = the_time + (60*60*24) # 24 hrs
-
while the_time < end_time:
-
# insert my code here ????????????????what I put here and How??
-
time.sleep(60) # wait 60 seconds
-
the_time = time.time() # get the new time
-
-
-
-
def fil(data):
-
patt = re.compile(r'\((\d+)% loss\)')
-
patt1 = re.compile(r'(\d+.\d+.\d+.\d)')
-
-
for line in data.split('\n'):
-
-
if line.startswith("Ping statistics for"):
-
ip = patt1.search(line).group(1)
-
-
if patt.search(line):
-
loss_num = int(patt.search(line).group(1))
-
-
if loss_num >= 2 :
-
s = open('c:/tmp/myprimarylogs.xls', 'a+')
-
s.write("%s '%s'\n" % (loss_num, ip))
-
s.close()
-
# if loss >= 2, return False - then secondary IPs are pinged
-
print 'loss_num is >= 2 ', loss_num
-
return False
-
else:
-
print 'loss_num is < 2,', loss_num
-
return True
-
-
def ping(*fnames):
-
g = open(fnames[0], 'w')
-
for fn in fnames[1:]:
-
f=open(fn, 'r')
-
ipList = [line.strip() for line in f.readlines()]
-
f.close()
-
resList = []
-
for ipAdd in ipList:
-
pingaling =os.popen("ping %s" %(ipAdd),"r")
-
data = pingaling.read()
-
resList.append(data)
-
# if loss > 2, ping secondary IPs
-
proceed = fil(data)
-
if proceed:
-
break
-
g.write('/n'.join(resList))
-
if proceed:
-
break
-
g.close()
-
-
def get_IPs(fnP, fnS):
-
while True:
-
ipAddP = raw_input("# Enter Primary IP: ")
-
if validIP(ipAddP):
-
f = open(fnP, 'w')
-
f.write(ipAddP.strip() + "\n")
-
f.close()
-
break
-
else:
-
print "Invalid IP."
-
ipList = []
-
while True:
-
while True:
-
ipAddS = raw_input("# Enter Secondary IP: ")
-
if validIP(ipAddS):
-
ipList.append(ipAddS.strip())
-
break
-
else:
-
print "Invalid IP"
-
s = raw_input("# Enter another IP? Y/N: " )
-
if s.upper() == "N":
-
f = open(fnS, 'w')
-
f.write('\n'.join(ipList))
-
f.close()
-
break
-
-
fnP = 'c:/tmp/primaryip.xls'
-
fnS = 'c:/tmp/secip.xls'
-
fnW = 'c:/tmp/workfile.txt'
-
-
get_IPs(fnP, fnS)
-
ping(fnW, fnP, fnS)
-
-
-
Loads of code
something like: -
#!/usr/bin/env python
-
# coding: UTF-8
-
-
import time
-
import re
-
import whateverelse
-
-
fnP = 'c:/tmp/primaryip.xls'
-
fnS = 'c:/tmp/secip.xls'
-
fnW = 'c:/tmp/workfile.txt'
-
-
def fil(data):
-
......
-
-
def ping(*fnames):
-
......
-
-
def get_IPs(fnP, fnS):
-
......
-
-
def main():
-
the_time = time.time()
-
start_time = the_time # Youre not using start_time at all btw.
-
end_time = the_time + (60*60*24) # 24 hrs
-
while the_time < end_time:
-
get_IPs(fnP, fnS)
-
ping(fnW, fnP, fnS)
-
time.sleep(60) # wait 60 seconds
-
the_time = time.time() # get the new time
-
-
-
if __name__ == "__main__":
-
main()
-
perhaps? Not many other ways of doing it.
Hi,
tks for your reply,
I did try your script but it
stop to :
# Enter Primary IP:
Hi,

Sorry to say it but your code makes no sense at all.
You use several functions that are never defined somwhere.
But i do know that this part: -
-
end_time = the_time + (60*60*24) # 24 hrs
-
while the_time < end_time:
-
get_IPs(fnP, fnS)
-
ping(fnW, fnP, fnS)
-
is 'wrong' and shuld be this: -
-
end_time = the_time + (60*60*24) # 24 hrs
-
get_IPs(fnP, fnS)
-
while the_time < end_time:
-
ping(fnW, fnP, fnS)
-
<rant>
WO! THERE IS A SLIMY LITTLE BUG IN THE CODE-TAGGS!
