Built-in Wrappers

We have various wrappers to support much shell functionality. At this time, these have been built and tested for Linux. These codes inherit from the Exec class shown in Section 1. This way, they can be executed locally or in parallel.

Creating + Deleting Directories​

We provide various wrappers for filesystem commands.

from jarvis_util.shell.filesystem import Mkdir
from jarvis_util.shell.filesystem import Rm

# Creates two directories "path1" and "path2"
Mkdir(['path1', 'path2'])
# Creates a single directory path3
Mkdir('path3')

# Remove two directories (including subdirectories + files)
Rm(['path1', 'path2'])
# Remove a single directory
Rm('path3')

Killing Processes​

We provide a wrapper for pkill, which can kill processes in parallel

from jarvis_util.shell.process import Kill

# Kill all processes matching pattern
Kill('hermes')
