I'm trying to run a command on a remote host, something like:
result = os.popen('ssh otherhost mycommand').rea d()
It is possible that the other host is down, in which case the ssh
command hangs, so I want my script to time out if this happens:
def timeout(*x):
raise IOError, 'timeout'
signal(SIGALRM, timeout)
alarm(20)
result = os.popen('ssh otherhost mycommand').rea d()
I would expect the above to raise IOError if the ssh doesn't return
within 20 seconds, but it seems to hang when the other host is down,
until eventually the tcp connection times out after something like 5
minutes (which is much longer than I want to wait).
Anyone know if os.popen somehow pre-empts the alarm signal? If it
does, I'd consider that a bug.
Thanks

Thanks. Maybe I did a dumb thing by overloading IOError and os.popen
is actually catching that exception for purposes of its own. I'll
try making a new exception. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I'm having a problem on windows (both 2000 and XP) with a multi-threaded

when a child thread pops up a

I have a virtual function in a base class, which is then overwritten by a

base-class function is called instead of the new function in the derived
class. All other similar functions (virtual in the base class and
overwritten in the the derived class) work fine, it's just this one

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
