RunCmd(cmd, env=None, output=None, cwd="/", reset_env=False, interactive=False, timeout=None, noclose_fds=None)

source code

Execute a (shell) command.

The command should not read from its standard input, as it will be closed.

Parameters:

cmd (string or list) - Command to run
env (dict) - Additional environment variables
output (str) - if desired, the output of the command can be saved in a file instead of the RunResult instance; this parameter denotes the file name (if not None)
cwd (string) - if specified, will be used as the working directory for the command; the default will be /
reset_env (boolean) - whether to reset or keep the default os environment
interactive (boolean) - weather we pipe stdin, stdout and stderr (default behaviour) or run the command interactive
timeout (int) - If not None, timeout in seconds until child process gets killed
noclose_fds (list) - list of additional (fd >=3) file descriptors to leave open for the child process

Returns: RunResult

RunResult instance

Raises:

errors.ProgrammerError - if we call this when forks are disabled

SetupDaemonEnv(cwd="/", umask=077)

source code

Setup a daemon's environment.

This should be called between the first and second fork, due to setsid usage.

Parameters:

cwd - the directory to which to chdir
umask - the umask to setup

SetupDaemonFDs(output_file, output_fd)

source code

Setups up a daemon's file descriptors.

Parameters:

output_file - if not None, the file to which to redirect stdout/stderr
output_fd - if not None, the file descriptor for stdout/stderr

StartDaemon(cmd, env=None, cwd="/", output=None, output_fd=None, pidfile=None)

source code

Start a daemon process after forking twice.

Parameters:

cmd (string or list) - Command to run
env (dict) - Additional environment variables
cwd (string) - Working directory for the program
output (string) - Path to file in which to save the output
output_fd (int) - File descriptor for output
pidfile (string) - Process ID file

Returns: int

Daemon process ID

Raises:

errors.ProgrammerError - if we call this when forks are disabled

WriteErrorToFD(fd, err)

source code

Possibly write an error message to a fd.

Parameters:

fd (None or int (file descriptor)) - if not None, the error will be written to this fd
err - string, the error message

_CheckIfAlive(child)

source code

Raises utils_retry.RetryAgain if child is still alive.

Raises:

utils_retry.RetryAgain - If child is still alive

_RunCmdPipe(cmd, env, via_shell, cwd, interactive, timeout, noclose_fds, _linger_timeout=constants.CHILD_LINGER_TIMEOUT)

source code

Run a command and return its output.

Parameters:

cmd (string or list) - Command to run
env (dict) - The environment to use
via_shell (bool) - if we should run via the shell
cwd (string) - the working directory for the program
interactive (boolean) - Run command interactive (without piping)
timeout (int) - Timeout after the programm gets terminated
noclose_fds (list) - list of additional (fd >=3) file descriptors to leave open for the child process

Returns: tuple

(out, err, status)

_RunCmdFile(cmd, env, via_shell, output, cwd, noclose_fds)

source code

Run a command and save its output to a file.

Parameters:

cmd (string or list) - Command to run
env (dict) - The environment to use
via_shell (bool) - if we should run via the shell
output (str) - the filename in which to save the output
cwd (string) - the working directory for the program
noclose_fds (list) - list of additional (fd >=3) file descriptors to leave open for the child process

Returns: int

the exit status

RunParts(dir_name, env=None, reset_env=False)

source code

Run Scripts or programs in a directory

Parameters:

dir_name (string) - absolute path to a directory
env (dict) - The environment to use

Returns: list of tuples

list of (name, (one of RUNDIR_STATUS), RunResult)

_GetProcStatusPath(pid)

source code

Returns the path for a PID's proc status file.

Parameters:

pid (int) - Process ID

Returns: string

IsProcessAlive(pid)

source code

Check if a given pid exists on the system.

Parameters:

pid (int) - the process ID to check

Returns: boolean

True if the process exists

Note: zombie status is not handled, so zombie processes will be returned as alive

_ParseSigsetT(sigset)

source code

Parse a rendered sigset_t value.

This is the opposite of the Linux kernel's fs/proc/array.c:render_sigset_t function.

Parameters:

sigset (string) - Rendered signal set from /proc/$pid/status

Returns: set

Checks whether a process is handling a signal.

Parameters:

pid (int) - Process ID
signum (int) - Signal number

Returns: bool

Daemonize(logfile)

source code

Daemonize the current process.

This detaches the current process from the controlling terminal and runs it in the background as a daemon.

Parameters:

logfile (str) - the logfile to which we should redirect stdout/stderr

Returns: tuple; (int, callable)

File descriptor of pipe(2) which must be closed to notify parent process and a callable to reopen log files

signal_ (int) - The signal to send, by default SIGTERM
timeout (int) - The timeout after which, if the process is still alive, a SIGKILL will be sent. If not positive, no such checking will be done
waitpid (boolean) - If true, we should waitpid on this process after sending signals, since it's our own child and otherwise it would remain as zombie

Note: Only boolean return values are supported.

Parameters:
