N = 50000
with open('input', 'w') as f:
for i in range(N):
f.write(str(i) + '\n')
run_command = '/bin/bash -e -o pipefail -c "((sort | tee >/dev/null >(cat | (tee >/dev/null >(sort >&3)))) <input 3>output)& wait"'
subprocess.check_call(run_command, shell=True)
time.sleep(sleep_time)
print sh.wc("output", "-l")
Running this python piece of code with sleep_time = 0
returns 0, but with sleep_time = 1
returns 50000.
The reason seems to be in not waiting for bash subprocesses to finish. Probably, my usage of the wait
function is not correct. I made experiments, but no satisfactory solution found.
When you /bin/bash
your command is going to run in a subshell, so you are immediately exiting the process. Also the command you are running in that subshell is running in the background, because of the &
at the end, you can pass $!
as parameters to wait
for it to wait until the last background process exits.
