I am trying to get the output of a list of hosts, using the unix command nslookup + the list of hosts, but I am getting an error although it does work when I only have one host.
Is there an easier way to do what I am doing or can you help me fix this simple script?
My script is:
#!/usr/bin/python
import commands, os, string
hostname = ['host1', 'host2']
response = commands.getoutput("nslookup " + ' '.join(hostname))
print response
Error:
user@hostname ~/scripts> ./nslookup
^CTraceback (most recent call last):
File "./nslookup", line 6, in <module>
response = commands.getoutput("nslookup " + ' '.join(hostname))
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/commands.py", line 46, in getoutput
return getstatusoutput(cmd)[1]
File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/commands.py", line 56, in getstatusoutput
text = pipe.read()
KeyboardInterrupt
Try this:
#!/usr/bin/python
import commands, os, string
hostnames = ['host1', 'host2']
for hostname in hostnames:
response = commands.getoutput("nslookup " + hostname)
print response
