You should note that echo.py sticks around for 10 seconds and you can launch multiple processes. Now you can write to it: echo test | socat - /run/echo.sock You should confirm it’s there with ls -l /run/echo.sock and that it’s owned by Foreman with mode 0600. Then running systemctl daemon-reload & systemctl enable -now echo.socket will start the socket and let it listen on /run/echo.sock. You would create /etc/systemd/system/echo.socket It means systemd opens a unix socket to listen on. Subprocess.Popen(,shell=False,stdin=None,stdout=None,stderr=None,close_fds=True) Hostname = HOOK_JSON.get('host').get('name', None) (HOOK_EVENT, HOOK_OBJECT, HOOK_TEMP_DIR, get_json_hook) However, when it runs as part of the provisioning workflow, it waits on that child process finishing, I don’t understand why.Ĭhild process runs in background and workflow continues without waiting for it to complete When I run this hook from the command line it runs as expected, the parent python script exits and the child process is running in the background. This python script fires off a long running job supposedly in the background and I don’t wish to wait for it to complete before moving on (it includes a few sleep commands). I created a before_provision foreman hook python script.
