Currently, bno_plot.py uses os.execvp which does not show enough information when executed command is not found. For example, when gnuplot is not found bno_plot.py shows the following messages: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/bno_plot.py", line 123, in <module> os.execvp(cmd[0], cmd) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/os.py", line 344, in execvp _execvpe(file, args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/os.py", line 368, in _execvpe func(file, *argrest) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Users can't understand what happend directly from the message. Instead of os.execvp, this patch uses os.system which shows the following messages when gnuplot not found: sh: gnuplot: command not found Signed-off-by: Eiichi Tsukata <devel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- btt/bno_plot.py | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/btt/bno_plot.py b/btt/bno_plot.py index 19dfdfd..aa92480 100644 --- a/btt/bno_plot.py +++ b/btt/bno_plot.py @@ -114,13 +114,12 @@ if __name__ == '__main__': pid = os.fork() if pid == 0: - cmd = '/usr/bin/gnuplot %s/plot.cmds -' % tmpdir + cmd = 'gnuplot %s/plot.cmds -' % tmpdir if verbose: print 'Executing %s' % cmd - cmd = cmd.split(None) os.chdir(tmpdir) - os.execvp(cmd[0], cmd) + os.system(cmd) sys.exit(1) os.waitpid(pid, 0) -- 1.8.3.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrace" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
