Python实现tail -f并判断日志出现start字样或者超时300s自动停止tail -f

背景说明

如tomcat 启动后，需要判断新日志中是否出现start字样，直到出现这个字样，如果300s没有返回，自动结束。

代码

# encoding: utf-8
import time

logfile = 'log.txt'
keyword = 'Start'
timeout = 300

def tail_log(logfile):
    logfile.seek(0,2)
    check_time = timeout
    while check_time > 1:
        time.sleep(1)
        check_time = check_time - 1
        where = logfile.tell()
        lines = logfile.readline()
        if not lines:
            logfile.seek(where)
        else:
            yield lines

if __name__ == '__main__':

    logfile = open(logfile,'r')
    for line in tail_log(logfile):
        if line.find(keyword):
            print('''{}'''.format(str(line)))
        else:
            break
    logfile.close()
