Basically what i want to do is to read a file
that is being constantly appended to but which
is located on a remote server.
I found this for doing BASH's tail -f in python:
import os
tailoutputfile = os.popen('tail -f syslog')
while 1:
line = tailoutputfile.readline()
if len(line)==0: # change the termination condition
break
process_line(line)
and it works great. But not sure how to use this with
ssh command to connect to remote machine.
Any tips?
