Re: [Vnc2swf-users] -Request- Quit command line option

[Matthew T. <ths...@ho...>]

For fun, - I don't know any python either :-) - I did some searching on the 
net to see if I could come up with a way to stop the recording from the 
command line I tried this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
def SomeMethod(procname_ori):
    import win32api
    import win32pdh
    import win32con
    import win32pdhutil
    import sys
    print "killing " + procname_ori

    try:
        win32pdhutil.GetPerformanceAttributes('Process','ID 
Process',procname_ori)
    except:
        pass

    pids = win32pdhutil.FindPerformanceAttributesByName(procname_ori)
    try:
        pids.remove(win32api.GetCurrentProcessId())
    except ValueError:
        pass

    if len(pids)==0:
        result = "Can't find %s" % procname_ori
    elif len(pids)>1:
        result = "Found too many %s's - pids=`%s`" % (procname,pids)
    else:
        handle = win32api.OpenProcess(win32con.PROCESS_TERMINATE, 0,pids[0])
        win32api.TerminateProcess(handle,0)
        win32api.CloseHandle(handle)
        result = ""

    return result


  SomeMethod = staticmethod(SomeMethod)



    elif k == "-q":
	Subprocess.SomeMethod("python")

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I started vnc2swf.py -n -o test.swf -t video

after the recording started I ran the new switch vnc2swf.py -n -q kill
it stopped the original vnc2swf.py thread but it terminated it before the 
swf could be saved and it cuased corruption in the swf.


I also tried this code
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def Test(port_name):
  import socket
  Host = "localhost"
  Port = port_name

# reference time (in seconds since 1900-01-01 00:00:00)

# connect to server
  s = socket.socket (socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
  s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
  s.connect((Host, port_name))
  s.send("somthing")
  data = s.recv(1024)
  s.close ()
  print 'Received', repr(data)


myFunc = staticmethod(Test)


    elif k == "-q":
	Subprocess.Test(5900)

-------------------------------------------------------------
in the above code I'm not sure what to tell RFB, or if its even 
communicating too RFB, to stop the communications on localhost :5900.


Even though I failed it was fun playing with python. I think I'm missing a 
lot of things namely taking to the same thread that the recording is on. 
Anyway maybe all this better explains what I'm trying to accomplish.

Thanks
Matt
