I need to check if a scriptA.py
is still running, in scriptB.py
. Both are started individually, but scriptB.py
may only continue if scriptA.py
is still running.
I know I could use
import subprocess
process = subprocess.Popen(['pgrep', 'scriptA.py'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
process.wait()
if not process.returncode:
print "Process running"
else:
print "Process not running"
But script a runs in a tmux session. Which is called like tmux new -d -s scriptA_2014-12-09-10-54-02-697559 'cd /home/user/scriptA; python scriptA.py -flag; echo $? > /tmp/scriptA_2014-12-09-10-54-02-697559'
tmux new -d -s scriptA_2014-12-09-10-54-02-697559 'cd /home/user/scriptA; python scriptA.py -flag; echo $? > /tmp/scriptA_2014-12-09-10-54-02-697559'
If i pgrep scriptA.py
it doesn't return the PID
. pgrep tmux
would work, but that there might be other tmux sessions, so I can't use that.
I could do something like ps aux | grep scriptA.py | wc -l
ps aux | grep scriptA.py | wc -l
ps aux | grep scriptA.py | wc -l
and check the line count - but this feels like it's very variable.
How else could I verify if scriptA.py
is running?
I'm now using the PID
, written to a file at script execution.. The code I use seems to work for my case:
In scriptA
, at execution start:
pidf = open("./scriptA_pid.tmp","w")
pidf.write(str(os.getpid()))
pidf.close()
In scriptB
, at the beginning of the loop that needs to be executed until scriptA
is done.
with open("./scriptA_pid.tmp","r") as f:
scriptA_pid = f.read()
chk_sA = subprocess.Popen(['kill -0 '+str(scriptA_pid)+' > /dev/null 2>&1; echo $?'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=devnull,shell=True)
chk_sA.wait()
sA_status = chk_sA.stdout.read()
if int(sA_status) == 0:
#ScriptA is still running
pass
else:
#ScriptA is not running
sys.exit(0)
