Ugghh....no, it wasn't. <sigh>
Now that I chmod'd it properly, the bourne scipt runs just fine. I then
tried to make it echo the line to my python script, thusly:
--------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
read line
echo "$line" | /hello_log.py
--------------------------------------------------------
It works just fine. Thus explaining to me the man page's comments about
shell script wrapper to set up the run-once-and-die mechanism.
So now that I have the proof of concept, I can do whatever I want in Python,
such as parse the output and send it to Postgresql.
Thanks much for the simple assist, though I am quite embarassed that it was
such a simple detail. I still don't understand why the Python script on it
won't run properly. (It is 755 perm ;-)
hello_log.py
--------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/python
import sys
test_file = open("/test.out", 'a')
test_file.write(sys.__stdin__.read())
test_file.flush()
test_file.close()
sys.exit()
