Using dd
hi i was executing a program which had following commands
Code:
command = "mkdir /var/log/TC"
                username = ""
                ipAddress = ""
                hi1=executeSshCommand(username, ipAddress, command, password=None)
                print hi1
        command = "touch /var/log/TC/huge.txt"        
        hi2=executeSshCommand(username, ipAddress, command, password=None)
        print hi2
        command = "dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/log/TC/huge."
        hi3=executeSshCommand(username, ipAddress, command, password=None)
        print hi3

what will be the value of hi3?
and if i want to pass any command after this ,do i need to wait (as it takes time to fill zeros)
or if i give any next command will it execute only after the execution of dd command?

Thanks

I'm not sure about your script. How ever the as far as I know the commands in a script are executed in order and hence commands after dd will wait till it finishes.

What computer language is this script written in? The syntax on most of the lines is not a Bourne-type Shell.
