executing shell commands from python script
import subprocess subprocess.run(["bash", "testShell.sh"]) #we don't have to give full path to the shell script. It always execute from the current directory #As a rule of thumb, you need to separate the arguments based on space, #for example ls -alh would be ["ls", "-alh"], while ls -a -l -h, #would be ["ls", "-a", -"l", "-h"]. As another example, #echo hello world would be ["echo", "hello", "world"], #whereas echo "hello world" or echo hello world would #be ["echo", "hello world"]. #Another example. list_files = subprocess.run(["ls", "-l"]) print("The exit code was: %d" % list_files.returncode)
