Number of cmds inside subprocess

[pannis]

Hi, I am trying to run more than 5 or 6 shell commands from my pyhton script.

Currently my psuedo code is below.

try:
     _ = subprocess.check_output(cmd1, shell=True, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
     _ = subprocess.check_output(cmd2, shell=True, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
     _ = subprocess.check_output(cmd3, shell=True, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
      print(e.returncode)

Can someone correct me if this is not right way to do? Thanks.

I think you should use

_ = subprocess.call(cmd1, shell=True, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

I think you should use

_ = subprocess.call(cmd1, shell=True, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

Thanks Sagar for your reply.
If I have many cmd calls, Can I call them in one try statement as mentioned in my first post? Or there is a better way of implementing these cmd steps? Thanks.

I have written a small code snippet. You could scale up and improve that code. Please let me known what you have done so I could learn from you also.
The code is as follows:

def subprocess_cmd(command):
    try:
        process = subprocess.call(command,stdout=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True)
        
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
      print(e.returncode)

subprocess_cmd('ls -l; echo b')

Got it. Thanks.
I will write a function to call each subprocess.

I will write a function to call each subprocess.

So, that means you don't get it.  Don't write a function for each subprocess, just use that one function, over and over.  If you have more than one function defined, you did it wrong.
