is better way.
but you will still get an empty string because actually â/procâ does not contains real files⦠so the file plugin does not applies there (and is another debate if it shouldâ¦)
you should use OSProcess instead (installable from Configurations Browser)
(PipeableOSProcess command: 'uptime') upToEndOfFile.
Esteban Oh, I didn't know '/proc' doesn't contains real files. I tought there were files in this directory since you do 'cat /proc/uptime' in a shell.
thatâs the O.S. cheating you :)
Can you elaborate on that statement. What is a "real" file and why are the files in /proc not real?
better: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/proc.html <http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/proc.html>
"proc is very special in that it is also a virtual filesystem. It's sometimes referred to as a process information pseudo-file system. It doesn't contain 'real' files but runtime system information (e.g. system memory, devices mounted, hardware configuration, etc). For this reason it can be regarded as a control and information centre for the kernel. In fact, quite a lot of system utilities are simply calls to files in this directory.â
last part of that sentence is what made me think that *maybe* FilePlugin should thread them as regular files⦠:)
