I am trying to write a script (python2.3) which will be used
with linux konqueror to retrive 2 webpages alternatively every 2 minutes.
My question is how can I send alternative args (the url)
to the same invocation of konqueror which I started with
def pipedreams(program, *args):
pid = os.fork()
if not pid:
os.execvp(program, (program,) + args)
return os.wait()[0]
pipedreams("konqueror",url1)
Obviously every time I call pipedreams I would open a new instance
which is exactly what I do not want.
My pseudocode :
if timecounter == 60 :
send url1 to konqueror to fetch & display
elif timecounter == 120:
send url2 to konqueror to fetch % display
timecounter = 0
Thanks for any hints
D.B.
