write error: Broken pipe
- by Fahim
Hi,
I have to run a tool on around 300 directories. Each run take around 1 minute to 30 minute or even more than that. So, I wrote a python script having a loop to run the tool on all directories one after another.
my python script has code something like:
for directory in directories:
os.popen('runtool_exec ' + directory)
But when I run the python script I get the following error messages repeatedly:
..
tail: write error: Broken pipe
date: write error: Broken pipe
..
All I do is login on a remote server using ssh where the tool, python script, and subject directories are kept. When I individually run the tool from command prompt using command like:
runtool_exec directory
it works fine. "broken pipe" error is coming only when I run using the python script.
Any idea, workaround?
Please suggest.
Thanks.
Fahim
