[Pythondialog-users] Example usage of Programbox

[Paraic O. <par...@gm...>]

Hi
Thanks for a great product! I have several menu systems on many Linux
servers using it in Production.

My issue:
I am trying to use programbox to show a running display of a health check
on a Linux box.
I would run several os.system() commands such as service xxxx status and df
and top etc whcih would append their stdout to a file in /tmp.
I would like to see these commands send output to a programbox (or
progressbox) either via some kind of pipe or tailing the file in /tmp.

Would you be able to guide me on how best to do that and some sample code
if possible? I looked at the demo.py and couldn't quite figure out the code
to do it there. My python is still beginner-ish but very keen to learn.

Any help appreciated
