Functions Details

Class : tux.sys
   
      1.7.1)    Function : tux.sys.add_time_event
      
          Add a time event in the time event handler
      
              Parameters:
              "cmd_type" as number  : Command type (CT_SHELL|CT_FUNCTION)
              "cmd" as string       : Command to execute
              "year" as integer     : (ex : 2006) (9999 : parameter ignored)
              "month" as integer    : (ex : 12) (99 : parameter ignored)
              "day" as integer      : (ex : 23) (99 : parameter ignored)
              "hour" as integer     : (ex : 08) (99 : parameter ignored)
              "minute" as integer   : (ex : 55) (99 : parameter ignored)
              "second" as integer   : (ex : 30) (99 : parameter ignored)
      
              Example:
              >>> tux.sys.add_time_event(CT_SHELL,'xmms',9999,99,99,8,5,0)
          
      1.7.2)    Function : tux.sys.clear_time_events
      
          Clear the time events of the time event handle
      
              Example:
              >>> tux.sys.clear_time_events()
          
      1.7.3)    Function : tux.sys.delayed_function
      
          To execute a function with a delay
      
              Parameters:
              "function" as pointer of function   : function to execute
              "delay" as float                    : time to wait before executing
                                                    the function. In seconds
      
              Example:
              >>> def test():
              ...     print "hello world"
              ...
              >>> tux.sys.delayed_function(test,10)
          
      1.7.4)    Function : tux.sys.looped_function
      
          Looping on a function with a delay
      
              Parameters:
              "function" as pointer of function: function to execute
              "delay" as float                 : time to wait between 2 executions
                                                 of the function. In seconds
      
              Example:
              >>> def test():
              ...     print "hello world"
              ...     return True
              ...
              >>> tux.sys.looped_function(test,10)
      
              Comment:
              While the return of the function is true, the loop remains
              active
          
      1.7.5)    Function : tux.sys.shell
      
          Execute a shell command
      
              Parameters:
              "command" as string : Shell command
      
              Example:
              >>> tux.sys.shell('ls -al')
          
      1.7.6)    Function : tux.sys.shell_free
      
          Execute a shell command in free mode
      
              Parameters:
              "command" as string : Shell command
      
              Example:
