Adds a Python module process.
| process | User application process. |
| name | Name of the user application process. Range 1-31. |
| python-module | The Python module to import and run. |
| python-module | The module relative to /usr/local/cfg. |
| start | Startup behavior. |
| auto | Create a daemon process and start it immediately. |
| on-demand | Create a run-to-completion process and use \start process\. |
| node | Node in stack in which to create the process. |
| node | Primary node, backup node, or both (default is primary). |
| vr | Virtual router in which to start the process. |
| vr-name | Virtual router name. |
| description | Description. |
| arg1-9 | Variable value. |
VR-Mgmt is the default VR used if not specified.
If no selection is made, the process runs on-demand.
If no node is selected, the default is the primary node.
The executable must be uploaded to /usr/local/cfg using the normal mechanisms (for example, TFTP).
From EPM‘s perspective, a Python-based process is an instance of the “expy” executable with some arguments, namely the Python module.
This command adds a Python module. To add a C executable processes, use the create process executable command.
A process must first exist on the primary node if you are creating it only on the backup node, If a process already exists on the primary node, you cannot create it on both the primary and secondary node. Also, if the backup node is down, a new process cannot be created on it.
The following are examples of create process python-module commands.
python-module foo_program start auto vr vr-default create process foo_user1 python-module “foo.run” “arg1 to foo.main” create process foo_user2 python-module “foo.noargs.needed” create process foo_user3 python-module “foo.daemon” start auto “arg1 to foo.main”
Error: Process name %s is invalid. Process names must begin with a letter, contain only alphanumeric and “_” characters, and be less than 32 characters long.
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 15.7.
