difficulty executing specific commands in python when not connected to network on a linux system

http://stackoverflow.com – I'm puzzled by this one. If I'm connected to the network on a linux system everything works fine. If disconnected I'm having trouble executing either of these sets of commands: set #1: cmd = 'cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm' args = shlex.split(cmd) curr_alarm_sse,error = subprocess.Popen(args,stdout = subprocess.PIPE, stderr= subprocess.PIPE).communicate() set #2: curr_alarm_sse = commands.getoutput("cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm") It isn't the cat command either, I tried to do a simple ls of my home directory, and in all cases the python script just locks up until I connect to (HowTos)

I'm using subprocess.Popen with Python, and I haven't come across an elegant solution for joining commands (i.e.

I've read a bunch of examples but none of them work for this specific task.

Python code:

x = Popen(commands, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE, shell=True) print commands stdout = x.stdout.read() stderr = x.stderr.read() print stdout, stderr return stdout

Output:

[user@host]$ python helpers.py ['ssh', '-t', 'user@host', ' ', "'service --status-all'"] usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_ad

Following is the code:

import subprocess import re

#stores partitions from df command in df_partition list p = subprocess.Popen("df -h", stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True) dfdata, _ = p.communicate() dfdata = dfdata.replace("Mounted on", "") columns = [list() for i in range(10)]

for line in dfdata.split("\n"): line = re.sub(" +", " ", line) for i,l in enumerate(line.split("

I'm trying to run an scp (secure copy) command using subprocess.Popen.

AUTO POWER ON PROBLEM 3 years 24 weeks ago

Hi all... I need my PC to auto turn on every day at 9:00 AM. To make it auto turn on i've done the following: 1) Enabled [Resume By Alarm] in BIOS and set alarm to 9:00 2) Changed SYSTOHC to "no" in /etc/sysconfig/clock 3) Edited my halt.local to run a special script before shutdown. The script contains:

i'm trying to run:

# if so, kill the atms and restart it try: with open(os.devnull, 'w') as devnull: call(["/usr/sbin/atms","-k"], stdout=devnull, stderr=devnull) except Exception, e: print the error

and I get

"'Popen' object has no attribute '_child_created'" in <bound method Popen.__del__ of <subprocess.Popen object at 0x1373790>> ignored

What does it mean?

I have a memory intensive Python application (between hundreds of MB to several GB). I have a couple of VERY SMALL Linux executables the main application needs to run, e.g.

child = Popen("make html", cwd = r'../../docs', stdout = PIPE, shell = True) child.wait()

When I run these external utilities (once, at the end of the long main process run) using subprocess.Popen I sometimes get OSError: [E
