Subprocess

The subprocess library enables straightforward execution of commands or binaries within Agent.

For this example, i'm taking back our previously created Agent my-parser. We will execute a basic ls for demo purposes.

agents/my-parser.py

from ..base import Base, logger
import subprocess  # New import

class MyParserAgent(Base):
    NAME = "MyParser"
    ACTIVATED = True
    VERSION = "1.0"
    MISSION = "Yet another parser to parse"

    def mission(self):
        logger.info(f'[{self.NAME}] Checking in.')
        
        # Use subprocess to run process. e.g. a basic ls, and retrieve files in a list
        files = (subprocess.run("ls", capture_output=True, text=True).stdout).split('\n')
        return files
