Summary of 6 automation scripts for Python operating system

1. File and directory management automation

Scene: Automatically back up the specified folder to another location.

Script Example：

import shutil  
import os  
  
source_folder = '/path/to/source'  
destination_folder = '/path/to/destination'  
  
def backup_folder(src, dst):  
    if not (dst):  
        (dst)  
    for item in (src):  
        s = (src, item)  
        d = (dst, item)  
        if (s):  
            (s, d, dirs_exist_ok=True)  
        else:  
            shutil.copy2(s, d)  
  
backup_folder(source_folder, destination_folder)

2. System monitoring automation

Scene: Monitor CPU usage and send alerts when usage exceeds the threshold.

Notice: Requires third-party librariespsutil。

Script Example(Installpsutil：pip install psutil）：

import psutil  
import smtplib  
from  import MIMEText  
from  import MIMEMultipart  
  
def check_cpu_usage():  
    cpu_percent = psutil.cpu_percent(interval=1)  
    if cpu_percent &gt; 80:  
        send_alert(f"CPU Usage High: {cpu_percent}%")  
  
def send_alert(message):  
    # The code for sending emails (omitted), SMTP server configuration is required    pass  
  
check_cpu_usage()

3. Network task automation

Scene: Check whether the website is accessible regularly.

Script Example(userequestsLibrary):

import requests  
  
def check_website(url):  
    try:  
        response = (url)  
        response.raise_for_status()  # If the response status code is not 200, an HTTPError exception will be thrown        print(f"{url} is up.")  
    except  as e:  
        print(f"{url} is down: {e}")  
  
check_website("")

4. Automation software installation and configuration

Scene: Install and configure a package (such as Git) using Python scripts.

Notice: Usually this type of task uses the operating system's package manager (such as apt-get, yum, etc.) or installation scripts for specific software. Python can call these commands.

Script Example(Install Git on Linux):

import subprocess  
  
def install_git():  
    (['sudo', 'apt-get', 'update'], check=True)  
    (['sudo', 'apt-get', 'install', 'git'], check=True)  
  
install_git()

5. Automate data processing

Scene: Process CSV files, perform data analysis and generate reports.

Script Example(usepandasLibrary):

import pandas as pd  
  
def process_csv(file_path):  
    df = pd.read_csv(file_path)  
    # Assume some data analysis    summary = ()  
    print(summary)  
    # You can save the results to a new file or database  
process_csv('')

6. Automated task scheduling

Scene: Use Python scripts to schedule execution of other scripts or tasks.

Notice: Although there is no direct task scheduling function in the Python standard library, third-party libraries such asschedule。

Script Example(Installschedule：pip install schedule）：

import schedule  
import time  
  
def job():  
    print("Hello, World!")  
  
(10).(job)  
  
while True:  
    schedule.run_pending()  
    (1)

These examples provide a variety of applications of Python in operating system automation. These scripts can be adjusted and extended according to your specific needs.
