Python/PostgreSQL - check if server is running -


i've started using psycopg2 module access local postgresql server , i'll way progammatically check if server started program can handle error when try start server:

psqldir = 'c:/program files/postgresql/9.2/bin'    # windows username = os.environ.get('username') dbname = 'mydb' os.chdir(psqldir) os.system('pg_ctl start -d c:/mydatadir')   # error here if server started conn = psycopg2.connect('dbname=' + dbname + ' user=' + username) cur = conn.cursor()

i experimented little , seems returns "0" or "3", solve problem, didn't find information on postgresql/psycopg2 manual confirms if documented behavior:

server_state = os.system('pg_ctl status -d c:/mydatadir')

what's best way? thanks!

from the pg_ctl documentation:

-w

wait startup or shutdown complete. waiting default option shutdowns, not startups. when waiting startup, pg_ctl repeatedly attempts connect server. when waiting shutdown, pg_ctl waits server remove pid file. pg_ctl returns exit code based on success of startup or shutdown.

you find pg_ctl status useful:

status mode checks whether server running in specified data directory. if is, pid , command line options used invoke displayed. if server not running, process returns exit status of 3.

c# - Send Image in Json : 400 Bad request -

from android trying send image class of data, iis webservice. (c#) the problem 400 bad request . the image being encoded base64 . , placed json rest of class elements. my guess base64 not valid inside json. server not understand it. if set string "" , post accepted fine. so question is, how make base64 valid within json array? ( tried url.encode no success). or how should send image android webservice? gson gson = new gson(); string json = gson.tojson(record); // record has param { string base64photo } how big image? i'm pretty sure surpassing iis json size limit (default 4 mb). check http://geekswithblogs.net/frankw/archive/2008/08/05/how-to-configure-maxjsonlength-in-asp.net-ajax-applications.aspx or http://www.webtrenches.com/post.cfm/iis7-file-upload-size-limits good luck!
