[PATCH] blktrace bno_plot.py: output comprehensive message when gnuplot not found

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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
