reparenting jobs….

I’ve put this down as an enhancement request, to be able to reparent jobs using “mrtool”, but in the meantime, I’ve been looking at accessing the web server from within python….

I can’t quite figure out how the login is done internally, though…

Here’s what I’ve got so far:

import httplib, urllib

conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(musterServerIP, 7690)
params = urllib.urlencode({‘username’: musterUsername, ‘password’: musterPassword, ‘action’: “dologin”})

# I’m pretty sure that this next line is what’s not working. I’m just not sure
# what the url should be
conn.request(“POST”, “/dologin.html”, params)
response = conn.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason
print response.msg

# This just gives me dologin.html – I’m just not sure where else I should send it

# If this had worked, I’d then do:

conn.request(“GET”, “actionjob?action=reparent&parent=%d&id=%d” % (parentId, jobId))
response = conn.getresponse()

print response.status, response.reason
print response.msg

Can anyone help me with this? I’m quite keen on getting a certain amount of automated cron-based restructuring going on….
