Hi,
I have a couple of threads running in my program and I tried to do the
following from one thread:
out = os.popen("su -l postgres -c \"psql -c 'VACUUM ANALYZE table1' -d
my_db\"")
This gives me the following error:
standard in must be a tty
No matter what I do, it doesn't work. I tried os.system(), os.popen2()
etc but nothing works. Please tell me what to do! I also tried writing a
small shell script and then calling that script from popen() but I still
get the same error. If I try this from the main program, i.e the point
at which I create run the threads, it works! I want the threads to be
doing this and not the main script so please help. Thanks,
Steve
