i have the following code
package main
import (
"os/exec"
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main() {
cmd := exec.Command("systemctl", "check", "sshd")
out, err := cmd.CombinedOutput()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Cannot find process")
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Printf("Status is: %s", string(out))
fmt.Println("Starting Role")
If the service is down, program will exit, althrough i would like to get its status ( 'down' , 'inactive', etc)
If the service is up, program will not exit and will print ' active ' output
Any hints, please ?
You're exiting if exec.Command returns an error, but you're not checking the type of error returned.
Per the docs:
If the command starts but does not complete successfully, the error is
of type *ExitError. Other error types may be returned for other
situations.
Rather than just exiting, you should check if the error corresponds to a non-zero exit code from systemctl or a problem running it. This can be done with the following:
func main() {
cmd := exec.Command("systemctl", "check", "sshd")
out, err := cmd.CombinedOutput()
if err != nil {
if exitErr, ok := err.(*exec.ExitError); ok {
fmt.Printf("systemctl finished with non-zero: %v\n", exitErr)
} else {
fmt.Printf("failed to run systemctl: %v", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
}
fmt.Printf("Status is: %s\n", string(out))
}

In Go, I would like to execute a binary from within my application and continually read what the command prints to stdout. However, the one caveat is that the binary is programmed to execute its task infinitely until it reads the enter key, and I don't have access to the binary's source code. If I execute the binary directly from a terminal, it behaves correctly. However, if I execute the binary from within my application, it somehow thinks that it reads the enter key, and closes almost immediately. Here is a code snippet demonstrating how I'm trying to execute the binary, pipe it's stdout, and print it to the screen:
func main() {
// The binary that I want to execute.
cmd := exec.Command("/usr/lib/demoApp")
// Pipe the command's output.
stdout, err := cmd.StdoutPipe()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
stdoutReader := bufio.NewReader(stdout)
// Start the command.
err = cmd.Start()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
// Read and print the command's output.
buff := make([]byte, 1024)
var n int
for err == nil {
n, err = stdoutReader.Read(buff)
if n > 0 {
fmt.Printf(string(buff[0:n]))
}
}
_ = cmd.Wait()
}
Any ideas if what I'm trying to accomplish is possible?
As #mgagnon mentioned, your problem might lie somewhere else; like perhaps the external dependency just bails due to not running in a terminal. Using following to simulate demoApp:
func main() {
fmt.Println("Press enter to exit")
// Every second, report fake progress
go func() {
for {
fmt.Print("Doing stuff...\n")
time.Sleep(time.Second)
}
}()
for {
// Read single character and if enter, exit.
consoleReader := bufio.NewReaderSize(os.Stdin, 1)
input, _ := consoleReader.ReadByte()
// Enter = 10 | 13 (LF or CR)
if input == 10 || input == 13 {
fmt.Println("Exiting...")
os.Exit(0)
}
}
}
... this works fine for me:
func main() {
cmd := exec.Command("demoApp.exe")
stdout, err := cmd.StdoutPipe()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
stdin, err := cmd.StdinPipe()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
go func() {
defer stdin.Close()
// After 3 seconds of running, send newline to cause program to exit.
time.Sleep(time.Second * 3)
io.WriteString(stdin, "\n")
}()
cmd.Start()
// Scan and print command's stdout
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(stdout)
for scanner.Scan() {
fmt.Println(scanner.Text())
}
// Wait for program to exit.
cmd.Wait()
}
$ go run main.go
Press enter to exit
Doing stuff...
Doing stuff...
Doing stuff...
Exiting...
The only difference between this and your code is that I'm using stdin to send a newline after 3 seconds to terminate the cmd. Also using scanner for brevity.
Using this as my /usr/lib/demoApp:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
for {
fmt.Print("North East South West")
time.Sleep(time.Second)
}
}
This program works as expected:
package main
import (
"os"
"os/exec"
)
func main() {
cmd := exec.Command("demoApp")
stdout, err := cmd.StdoutPipe()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
cmd.Start()
defer cmd.Wait()
for {
var b [1024]byte
stdout.Read(b[:])
os.Stdout.Write(b[:])
}
}
I am new to golang so please review the code and suggest any changes required.
So the problem statement goes below,
We have a file whose contents are in binary and are encrypted. The only way to read that contents if by using a custom utility say (named decode_it).. The command just accepts filename like below
decode_it filename.d
Now what I have to do is live monitoring the output of the decode_it utility in GO. I have written the code which is working great but somehow it is not able to process the latest tailed output (it is waiting for some amount of time for reading the last latest chunk before more data comes in ). s.Scan() is the function which is not returning the latest changes in output of that utility. I have another terminal side by side so I know that a line is appended or not. The GO Scan() function only scans when another chunk is appended at the end.
Please help. Suggest any changes required and also if possible you can suggest any other alternative approach for this.
Output of utility is - These are huge and come in seconds

try something like this one, i fixed some issues and make it more simple:

"log"
"os/exec"
)
func main() {
var err error
// change to your command
cmd := exec.Command("sh", "test.sh")
var out io.Reader
{
var stdout, stderr io.ReadCloser
stdout, err = cmd.StdoutPipe()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
stderr, err = cmd.StderrPipe()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
out = io.MultiReader(stdout, stderr)
}
if err = cmd.Start(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
scanner := bufio.NewScanner(out)
for scanner.Scan() {
fmt.Println("---- " + scanner.Text())
}
if err = scanner.Err(); err != nil {
fmt.Printf("error: %v\n", err)
}
log.Println("all done")
}
test.sh that i used in test:
#!/bin/bash
while [[ 1 = 1 ]]; do
echo 1
sleep 1
done
:)
I tried resolving the above issue using stdbuf -
cmd := exec.Command("stdbuf", "-o0", "-e0", "decode_it", FILEPATH, "4", "1")
Reference link - STDIO Buffering
When programs write to stdout they write with line bufferring. If they are writing to something else, then they use fully buffered mode. golang exec.Command seems to end up using fully buffered mode so using stdbuf forces no buffering.
everyone!
I'm trying to get my go code work with openstack serial console. It`s exposed via web socket. And i have problems with it.
I found gorrilla websocket lib (which is great) and took this example as a reference
With a few tweaks, now i have a code like this:
package main
import (
"log"
"net/url"
"os"
"os/signal"
"time"
"net/http"
"github.com/gorilla/websocket"
)
func main() {
DialSettings := &websocket.Dialer {
Proxy: http.ProxyFromEnvironment,
HandshakeTimeout: 45 * time.Second,
Subprotocols: []string{"binary",},
ReadBufferSize: 4096,
WriteBufferSize: 4096,
}
log.SetFlags(0)
interrupt := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(interrupt, os.Interrupt)
u, _ := url.Parse("ws://172.17.0.64:6083/?token=d1763f2b-3466-424c-aece-6aeea2a733d5") //websocket url as it outputs from 'nova get-serial-console test' cmd
log.Printf("connecting to %s", u.String())
c, _, err := DialSettings.Dial(u.String(), nil)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("dial:", err)
}
defer c.Close()
done := make(chan struct{})
go func() {
defer close(done)
for {
_, message, err := c.ReadMessage()
if err != nil {
log.Println("read:", err)
return
}
log.Printf("%s", message)
}
}()
c.WriteMessage(websocket.TextMessage, []byte("\n")) //just to force output to console
for {
select {
case <-done:
return
case <-interrupt:
log.Println("interrupt")
// Cleanly close the connection by sending a close message and then
// waiting (with timeout) for the server to close the connection.
err := c.WriteMessage(websocket.CloseMessage, websocket.FormatCloseMessage(websocket.CloseNormalClosure, ""))
if err != nil {
log.Println("write close:", err)
return
}
select {
case <-done:
case <-time.After(time.Second):
}
return
}
}
}
And i get output like this:

I think it's because i recieve just a chunks of bytes with no way to delimit them. I need some buffer to store them and when do something like bufio.ReadLine. But i'm not most experienced go programmer, and i run out of ideas how to do this. At the end i just need strings to work with.
The log package writes each log message on a separate line. If the log message does not end with a newline, then the log package will add one.
These extra newlines are garbling the output. To fix the output, replace the call to log.Printf("%s", message) with a function that does not add newlines to the output. Here are some options:
Write the message to stderr (same destination as default log package config):
os.Stderr.Write(message)
Write the message to stdout (a more conventional location to write program output):
os.Stdout.Write(message)
I built the golang app in local, then scp to server. I need to stop the process and restart manually. Is there any way to auto-restart the process when binary updated?
While this is generally better to be implemented off-process using something like daemontools or similar, there are some cases when you want/need it to be done inside your program.
Doing it inside your program can be tricky depending on the program characteristics such as connections or files it may have open, etc.
Having said that, here you have an implementation which would work in most cases:
package main
import (
"log"
"os"
"syscall"
"time"
"github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify"
"github.com/kardianos/osext"
)
func setupWatcher() (chan struct{}, error) {
file, err := osext.Executable()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
log.Printf("watching %q\n", file)
w, err := fsnotify.NewWatcher()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
done := make(chan struct{})
go func() {
for {
select {
case e := <-w.Events:
log.Printf("watcher received: %+v", e)
err := syscall.Exec(file, os.Args, os.Environ())
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
case err := <-w.Errors:
log.Printf("watcher error: %+v", err)
case <-done:
log.Print("watcher shutting down")
return
}
}
}()
err = w.Add(file)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return done, nil
}
func main() {
log.Print("program starting")
watcher, err := setupWatcher()
if err != nil {
// do something sensible
log.Fatal(err)
}
// continue with app startup
time.Sleep(100 * time.Minute) // just for testing
// eventually you may need to end the watcher
close(watcher) // this way you can
}
Then you do
% go build main.go
% ./main

And here the output it produced after you run (in other terminal) some successive "go build main.go" (which "updates" the running binary).

Hope it helps.
You can use https://github.com/slayer/autorestart
package main
import "github.com/slayer/autorestart"
func main() {
autorestart.StartWatcher()
http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil) // for example
}
Does it need to be sophisticated? You could have entr running and trigger an updater script when the binary changes.
http://entrproject.org/
e.g.
echo 'binary_path' | entr script.sh &
I have a resolution about this case.
See also.
https://github.com/narita-takeru/cmdrevive
example
cmdrevive ./htmls/ ".html$" (application) (arguments)
So, this case applicable.
cmdrevive "/(app path)" "(app filename)" (app full path) (arguments)
If (app filename) changed on (app path) directory, then restart (app full path) with (arguments).
How about this one?
How can I call an external command in GO?
I need to call an external program and wait for it to finish execution. before the next statement is executed.
You need to use the exec package : start a command using Command and use Run to wait for completion.
cmd := exec.Command("yourcommand", "some", "args")
if err := cmd.Run(); err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error: ", err)
}
If you just want to read the result, you may use Output instead of Run.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os/exec"
"log"
)
func main() {
cmd := exec.Command("ls", "-ltr")
out, err := cmd.CombinedOutput()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", out)
}
