    Simple question

    Hi guys!

    I'm a complete newbie in Python and I'm trying to make a small software
    to watch my network. It will be a simple snmpget report for a specific
    machine.

    I would like to make a small program in python to be runed with
    crontrab that will store the whole output in a txt file. I know its not
    a big deal, but i've no background in python :)

    basically i would like to know how to:

    1 - execute a command in the server
    2 - write the whole output into a file.

    best regards,
    Matheus

          The normal way would be using the command

          python script.py
          [color=blue]
          > 2 - write the whole output into a file.
          >[/color]
          Well, one way would simply be to use output redirection, such as

          python script.py > /tmp/file.txt

          Another alternative is to allow Python to open a file using

          f = open("some/file/name.txt", "w")

          and then use

          f.write(...)

          or

          print >> f, ...

          statements to send the output to the given file, finally closing it with

          f.close()

          The advantage of this latter method is that you can compute the filename
          (the first argument to the open() function) in Python if you want, using
          elements like the current date and time.

          regards
