I can use "nginx -s reload" command to restart nginx on the shell.
But, when I use os.system("nginx -s reload") command, It appears error.
/usr/local/bin/nginx: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
For this error. I already install pcre. Is there some magic problems.
For running such commands in python scripts it's better to use subprocess library.
try this code instead of yours:
import subprocess
subprocess.call('whatever command you want to run it in terminal', shell=True)
Be lucky
hello I recommend that you first send this validation before sending the reset so you avoid headaches
reinicioNGINX = subprocess.getoutput(['nginx -t'])
if 'nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok' in reinicioNGINX:
_command_restart
else:
_command_avoid_restart
