How to check if any of the processes in a list, is running?
0
I need to check if any of the following processes is running: script1.py, script2.py, script3.py
But the example below only checks if one of those processes is running.
import os
process_name= "script1.py" # change this to the name of your process
tmp = os.popen("ps -Af").read()
if process_name not in tmp[:]:
print "The process is not running."
else:
print "The process is running."

Loop over all three possibilities and check for each? If you don't understandforloops, you need to talk to your teacher, or at least run through a complete Python tutorial.

You can try this:
import os
process_names= ["script1.py", "script2.py", "script3.py"] # change this to the name of your process
tmp = os.popen("ps -Af").read()
for process_name in process_names
if process_name not in tmp[:]:
print ("The {0} is not running.".format(process_name)) #this is in python 3x style
else:
print ("The {0} is running.".format(process_name))

You can do like this:
import os
process_names= ["script1.py","script2.py","script3.py"]
# you can modify this list as you want
tmp = os.popen("ps -Af").read()
for item in process_name: #this loop iterates through the list of script names
if item not in tmp[:]:
print "The process is not running."
else:
print "The process is running."
However, I strongly recommend you to learn basics of python, looping and oops concepts before you attempt such low-med complex use cases.
Happy Learning!!
