I write simple script using Golang to grep a log file with some parameters. Here's my shell command
grep CRON var/log/sys | tail -5 | grep "cd /home/raka/repo && git status"
I want to run command above in Golang using os/exec
package. Here's my code sniped.
var (
reader io.Reader
out []byte
err error
commandName string = "grep"
)
args := []string{"CRON", "/var/log/syslog", "| tail -6", "| grep \"git status\""}
cmd := exec.Command(commandName, args...)
r, err = cmd.StdoutPipe()
err = cmd.Start()
out, err = ioutil.ReadAll(r)
err = cmd.Wait()
return strings.Split(string(out), "
")```
Currently, the sniped above doesn't work, because of exit status 2
. Any of you guys/ladies have solution for this problem? thank you so much.
Pipes (|
) are implemented by a shell program (like bash). If you want to use them you should execute shell passing a command containing piped program invocations:
exec.Command("/bin/sh", "-c",
"grep CRON var/log/sys | tail -5 | grep \"cd /home/raka/repo && git status\"")
