rar a -idcdp e:\temp\bak20060222191139.rar e:\temp\code e:\temp\domains
Backup Failed!

It is always a good idea to use full path file location specs like:
rar_cmd = r"D:\Program Files\WinRAR\rar.exe a -idcdp %s %s" % (target,'
'.join(source))
..
Have not tested it, but I suppose it will do the job.

Ê÷Éϲä»Ò said the following on 23.02.2006 10:03:

rar_cmd = r'"D:\Program Files\WinRAR\rar.exe" a -idcdp %s %s' % (target,' '.join(source))

You can't cd to d:\Program Files\WinRAR and then call rar

You have to call rar with full path.

from subprocess import *
retcode = call([r'"D:\Program Files\WinRAR\rar.exe"', 'a', '-idcdp', target,
' '.join(source)])
if retcode == 0:
print "everything OK"

if os.system(r'cd D:\Program Files\WinRAR') == 0:

You created a shell, performed a "cd" in that shell, and then the
shell went away.

if os.system(rar_cmd) == 0:

You now create another shell, which knows nothing about the previous
"cd".

thank everyone!!!

the code:

import os
import time
source = [r'e:\temp\code',r'e:\temp\domains']
target_dir = r'e:\temp\bak'
target = target_dir+time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')+'.rar'
rar_cmd = "D:\\Progra~1\\WinRAR\\rar.exe a -idcdp %s %s" % (target,'
'.join(source))
print rar_cmd
if os.system(rar_cmd) == 0:
print 'Successful backup to',target
else:
print 'Backup Failed!'

thanks again!

Notice how using os.system() to do a "cd" doesn't "stick"... But if
you used os.chdir() instead, THAT setting carries over to subsequent
os.system() calls.

os.chdir() ?
