Capturing output during a post-processing script

[dilorc]

Hi,

I have a python script that I am trying to run.  It runs fine when I run it from the shell.  However, it's not doing anything when SABnzbd+ starts it.  The script is being executed but it appears to just keep running and running forever.  When I try to look at the script output, I get an error of "Request unsuccessful".  Is there a way to look at the output of the script in realtime?  A file that I can tail in the background while it runs?  There is a situation where the script could be stuck waiting for input from a user and I want to make sure it's not entering this state.

I've written a short python script that dumps the arguments out and that works fine.  This script doesn't appear to be doing anything

Thanks for the help

When I run the script from the shell, I run it as ./tvdb.py 'arg' 2 ''  The single quotes are included on the command line because they have spaces in them.  I don't provide all 6 arguments because I only need the 1st and 3rd.

The first line of the script is #!/usr/bin/python.

Here's the log entry where the script is starting:

Code: Select all

2010-04-10 00:58:02,889::INFO::[newsunpack:126] Running external script /home/dilorc/SABnzbd/scripts/tvdb.py(/home/dilorc/SABnzbd/complete/Supernatural S05E16 720p HDTV x264 SiTV, Supernatural S05E16 720p HDTV x264 SiTV.nzb, Supernatural S05E16 720p HDTV x264 SiTV, , None, alt.binaries.teevee, 0)

The only thing that seems to be an error is this:

I think this is me requesting the non-existent script output.

I figured out what the problem was.  I made a bad assumption about what the working directory was when a post-processing script is run.  I thought it was the directory where the script is located...it's not.  For me, it was /usr/bin.  Because of that, it forced my script into a function where it needed user input.
