I would like to call a script named openseessp
and then pass "source test.tcl"
argument to this script.
I tried with subprocess
module but after it invoked openseessp
it exits and then runs source test.tcl
command. I need to run this without exiting the first (openseessp
):
subprocess.run(['openseessp', 'source test.tcl'], shell=True, cwd=directoryJob)
Update: for the record, the code above works. The problem was related to openseessp. I changed openseessp (single processor version) to openseesmp (multiprocessor version) and it worked.

From the docs:
args
is required for all calls and should be a string, or a sequence of program arguments. Providing a sequence of arguments is generally preferred, as it allows the module to take care of any required escaping and quoting of arguments (e.g. to permit spaces in file names). If passing a single string, eithershell
must beTrue
(see below) or else the string must simply name the program to be executed without specifying any arguments.
That is, either pass a string with shell=True
,
subprocess.run('openseessp source test.tcl', shell=True, cwd=directoryJob)
or pass a list (shell
is False
by default).
subprocess.run(['openseessp', 'source test.tcl'], cwd=directoryJob)
