Ensure that the binaries being called through os.system() are in the program search path. -aj P.S. Use the zope mailinglist next time --On Donnerstag, 19. Juni 2003 12:12 Uhr +0200 Arjan Huizer <a.huizer@kennisnet.org> wrote:
Hi,
I have created an external method that is called when I upload a file. This external method will execute the validate_file function from my python file in the Extensions directory.
The script creates a file and tries to see if it contains a virus. It does run, but after creating the file, the os.system and os.remove commands do not seem to do anything. When I copy the relevant code from the script to a python file and run it on the server directly, the code works.
Does anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks in advance!
p.s. I am running Zope 2.6.1 with CMF 1.3 on a Linux box.
============= import os
def validate_file(file): ''' Check is file contains a virus. '''
filename = "/usr/local/Zope/temp/temp.bin"
# Write the file to the local filesystem temp = open(filename, "wb") temp.write(file.read()) temp.flush
# Call virus checker error_level = os.system("f-prot " + filename)
# Delete temp file os.remove(filename)
return error_level;
