[OmniOS-discuss] LX Zone DTrace

[Mini Trader]

Here is the code.  It will run just fine with Debian 8.6 or OmniOS.  It
will fail on the LX zone with Debian.  The only way for it to fail is for
the stat call to fail and this seems to happen because the system doen't
know what directory it is in.  The files being looked at are static so not
a race condition.

Simple python script.

# read a directory, stat all files

import os
import sys
from stat import *

def walk(d):
    os.chdir(d)
    working = os.getcwd()
    print working
    dirlist = os.listdir('.')
    dirlist.sort()
    for f in dirlist:
        try:
            s = os.lstat(f)
            if S_ISDIR(s.st_mode):
                walk(f)
        except OSError, err:
            print "CurrentDIR: " + working
            print "CurrentFile: " + f
            print err
    os.chdir('..')
    print "DONE"

if len(sys.argv) != 2:
    print 'need 1 arg, directory to scan'

cwd = os.getcwd()
os.chdir(sys.argv[1])
walk('.')
