Run bash script with Django
You can do this with empty form.
In your template make a empty form
# index.html<form action="{% url 'run_sh' %}" method="POST"> {% csrf_token %} <button type="submit">Call</button></form>Add url for your form
from django.conf.urls import urlfrom . import viewsurlpatterns = [ url(r'^run-sh/$', views.index, name='run_sh')]Now in your views.py you need to call the bash.sh script from the view that returns your template
import subprocessdef index(request): if request.POST: # give the absolute path to your `text4midiAllMilisecs.py` # and for `tiger.mid` # subprocess.call(['python', '/path/to/text4midiALLMilisecs.py', '/path/to/tiger.mid']) subprocess.call('/home/user/test.sh') return render(request,'index.html',{})My test.sh is in the home directory. Be sure that the first line of bash.sh have sh executable and also have right permission. You can give the permissions like this chmod u+rx bash.sh.
My test.sh example
#!/bin/shecho 'hello'File permision ls ~
-rwxrw-r-- 1 test test 10 Jul 4 19:54 hello.sh*

I would suggest you to use Popen method of Subprocess module. Your shell script can be executed as system command with Subprocess.
Here is a little help.
Your views.py should look like this.
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUTfrom django.http import HttpResponsedef main_function(request): if request.method == 'POST': command = ["bash","your_script_path.sh"] try: process = Popen(command, stdout=PIPE, stderr=STDOUT) output = process.stdout.read() exitstatus = process.poll() if (exitstatus==0): result = {"status": "Success", "output":str(output)} else: result = {"status": "Failed", "output":str(output)} except Exception as e: result = {"status": "failed", "output":str(e)} html = "<html><body>Script status: %s \n Output: %s</body></html>" %(result['status'],result['output']) return HttpResponse(html)In this example, stderr and stdout of the script is saved in variable 'output', And exit code of the script is saved in variable 'exitstatus'.
Configure your urls.py to call the view function "main_function".
url(r'^the_url_to_run_the_script$', main_function)Now you can run the script by calling http://server_url/the_url_to_run_the_script
