Guys I am trying pick new lines as they come from command output, but always I end up doing it synchronous way (I have to wait until script is finished). I tired to use fsnotify but it is working only with regular files, do you have any idea how it can be done ?
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os/exec"
"bytes"
"os"
)
func main() {
cmd := exec.Command("scripts/long_script")
output := new(bytes.Buffer)
cmd.Stdout = output
cmd.Stderr = output
if err := cmd.Start(); err != nil{ // after Start program is continued and script is executing in background
fmt.Printf("Failed to start " + err.Error())
os.Exit(1)
}
fmt.Printf(" Before WAIT %s
", output.String()) // script is writing but nothing can be read from output
cmd.Wait()
fmt.Printf(" After Wait %s
", output.String()) // if we wait to finish execution, we can read all output
}
