pyproc2 1.2.2
Short intro
pyproc2 is Python library for reading data from /proc/ directory.
Of course, it works only on Linux.
Installation
pip install pyproc2
What can it do?
Find processes
There is only one method for all filters (PID, process name, user name,etc.)
It is called find().
Here are few examples:
1. By PID:
import pyproc2
pyproc2.find(1)
2. By process name (can return multiple results)
import pyproc2
pyproc2.find("python")
3. By user name (or UID or whatever)
import pyproc2
pyproc2.find(user="root")#Replace "user" to filter by other properties
Doing things with selected process(es)
1.Sending signals
Simple kill:
import pyproc2
pr=pyproc2.find("python")
pr.kill()
For other signals, pass kill() an argument.
Most common signals have defined own methods:
import pyproc2
pr=pyproc2.find("python")
pr.term() #Or stop() or cont() or whatever
2.Acessing attributes
import pyproc2
pr=pyproc2.find("python")
cpu=pr.cpu
uid=pr.uid
#etc.
3.Accessing children and parent processes
import pyproc2
pr=pyproc2.find(1)
cdr=pr.children #get all children
parent=pr.parent #get parent process
p4=pr.parentLevel(4) #equivalent of pr.parent.parent.parent.parent
kid=pr.child(3) #fourth children(sorted by PID)(negative indexes are working,too)
4.Sending data to open fds (works only as root)
import pyproc2
#simple write
pyproc2.find('bash').stdin.write('ls -la')
#simple stdout read
pyproc2.find('bash').stdout.read()
#simple stderr read
pyproc2.find('bash').stderr.read()
#write to fd
pyproc2.find('bash').fds.fd(39).write('hello')
#read from fs
pyproc2.find('bash').fds.fd(39).read()
Duplicating
r = my_process.duplicate()
This runs my_process.command using subprocess and returns result PID.
Acess predefined process sets
1.All processes
import pyproc2
rn=pyproc2.running
2.All processes, sorted by CPU rate
import pyproc2
t=pyproc2.top
3.Current process
import pyproc2
cur=pyproc2.current
