sudo /script.py - read out temperature&humidty in .php - temperature

I'm currently on a project with my Raspberry Pi B+.
I'm using a DHT22 - Temperature & Humidity Sensor. I'm also using Adafruit that's working together with python.
My Problem is, that I don't really know, how to read out a specific thing in my .php script that I want to implement in a index.php (Apache-Server).
I can read the Temperature & Humidity over putty with:
sudo /root/Adafruit_Python_DHT/examples/AdafruitDHT.py 22 4
while 22 is the DHT "22" Sensor - since there is an older one named "11" and 4 the GPIO of the raspberry.
putty is now telling this:
root#raspberrypi:~# sudo /root/Adafruit_Python_DHT/examples/AdafruitDHT.py 22 4
Temp=21.3* Humidity=41.6%
The AdafruitDHT.py for itself looks like this:

if len(sys.argv) == 3 and sys.argv[1] in sensor_args:
sensor = sensor_args[sys.argv[1]]
pin = sys.argv[2]
else:

sys.exit(1)
# Try to grab a sensor reading. Use the read_retry method which will retry up
# to 15 times to get a sensor reading (waiting 2 seconds between each retry).
humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(sensor, pin)
# Un-comment the line below to convert the temperature to Fahrenheit.
# temperature = temperature * 9/5.0 + 32
# Note that sometimes you won't get a reading and
# the results will be null (because Linux can't
# guarantee the timing of calls to read the sensor).
# If this happens try again!
if humidity is not None and temperature is not None:
print('Temp={0:0.1f}* Humidity={1:0.1f}%'.format(temperature, humidity))
else:
print('Failed to get reading. Try again!')
sys.exit(1)
my .php looks like this:
<?php
$temp = exec('cat /root/Adafruit_Python_DHT/examples/AdafruitDHT.py |grep Temp=');
$temp = explode('Temp=',$temp);
$temp = round($temp,2);
echo $temp;
?>
I know that my first line is not correct like that.
But I don't know how to read out the live-temperature and live-Humidity. And I didn't know what to google for exactly.
edit 1:
with the following .php file, the site looks like this:
`
as you can see, it is only missing the output coming from the DHT22-sensor only.

If you do
cat /root/Adafruit_Python_DHT/examples/AdafruitDHT.py | grep Temp=
you are not running/executing the AdafruitDHT.py program, you are copying it contents (ie. the python program text) So what you will get back from the PHP exec is probably the matching line
print('Temp={0:0.1f}* Humidity={1:0.1f}%'.format(temperature, humidity))
Change that line to:
$temp = exec('python /root/Adafruit_Python_DHT/examples/AdafruitDHT.py | grep Temp=')
after making sure you are allowed to use a pipe (|) in a PHP exec call. (If not consider stripping the output of the script to only that what you want to have in PHP, dropping the | grep .... part).

Steps on how to set up Sonarqube for Xcode/Swif Project

I have been trying to get this done for two days now. I have had different error to deal with. I am Using an M1 Apple Chip Mac pro and Xcode 13.4 and it has been difficult to get Sonarqube running. I finally found a docker image which is M1 specific and I have been able to get Sonarqube running locally.
My current challenge is having the test result sent to the Sonarqube project.
I have tried several method which includes
xcrun xccov view YourPathToThisFile/*.xccovreport --json
This script is not working even though I wanted an xml format.
Is there a better way to have the code coverage report sent to sonarqube. I have Sonarqube running but the test result and coverage is not showing. Sonarqube page currently says "The main branch has no lines of code."
NB: I am running Sonarqube with Docker
Below is my Sonarqube properties file.

please help ive never done this before and ive been folowing this youtube video
The content type txt is not a valid content type, you should use text/plain instead for plaintext:
long_description_content_type='text/plain',
Furthermore, it looks like you're using an old version of setuptools from before long_description_content_type existed, you should upgrade to the latest version:
$ python3 -m pip install -U setuptools

snmpget : Unknown user name

I am trying to install net-snmp from scratch to make snmpv3 to work on my computer.
I did install net-snmp and create the user, but when I want to make snmpget it reject me with snmpget: Unknown user name

I don't understand why it do not take in count my user. (I did restart the snmpd after entering the user - multiple times!)
The version of net-snmp I use :
Thanks in advance :)
After many research I've found what the problem is.
snmpd was not taking in count my configuration files. I saw it using the command :
snmpd -Dread_config -H 2>&1 | grep "Reading" | sort -u
Which tells you which configurations files are loaded by snmpd.
You can see it as well looking at the configuration file /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf. When snmpd handle your users it creates special lines in the file. It looks like :
usmUser 1 3 0x80001f888074336938f74f7c5a00000000 "neutg" "neutg" NULL .1.3.6.1.6.3.10.1.1.3 0xf965e4ab0f35eebb3f0e3b30\

setserialno 1424757026
So if you do not see any usmUser it's probably that your badly added your users.
The soluce
sudo /usr/local/sbin/snmpd -c /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf -c /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf

Want to call Progress 4GL 91.D procedure through Ajax call

I want to create web service for my Phonegap Android application which will further call progress 4GL 91.D procedure.
Does any one knowy idea how to create web service for this.
That will be a struggle. You CAN create a server that listens to a socket but you will have to handle everything yourself!
Look at this example.
However, you are likely better off writing the webservice in a language with a better support and then finding another way of getting the data out of the DB. If youre really stuck with a 10+ year old version you really should consider migrating to something else.
You don't have to upgrade everything -- you could just obtain a license for a version 10 client. V10 clients can connect to v9 databases (the rule is that the client can be up to one major release higher) so you could use that to build a SOAP service. Or you could get a v10 "webspeed" license.
Or you could write a simple enough CGI wrapper to some 4GL code if you have those sorts of skills. I occasionally toss together something like this:
#!/bin/bash
#
LOGFILE=/tmp/myservice.log
SVC=sample
# if a FIFO does not exist for the specified service then create it in /tmp
#
# $1 = direction -- in or out
# $2 = unique service name
#
pj_fifo() {
if [ ! -p /tmp/$2.$1 ]
then
echo `date` "Creating FIFO $2.$1" >> ${LOGFILE}
rm -f /tmp/$2.$1 >> ${LOGFILE} &2>&1
/bin/mknod -m 666 /tmp/$2.$1 p >> ${LOGFILE} &2>&1
fi
}
if [ "${REQUEST_METHOD}" = "POST" ]
then
read QUERY_STRING
fi
# header must include a blank line
#
# we're returning XML
#
echo "Content-type: text/xml" # or text/html or text/plain
echo
# debugging echo...
#
# echo $QUERY_STRING
#
# echo "<html><head><title>Sample CGI Interface</title></head><body><pre>QUERY STRING = ${QUERY_STRING}</pre></body></html>"
# ensure that the FIFOs exist
#
pj_fifo in $SVC
pj_fifo out $SVC
# make the request
#
echo "$QUERY_STRING" > /tmp/${SVC}.in
# send the response back to the requestor
#
cat /tmp/${SVC}.out
# all done!
#
echo `date` "complete" >> ${LOGFILE}
Then you just arrange for a background session to be reading /tmp/sample.in:
/* sample.p
*
* mbpro dbname -p sample.p > /tmp/sample.log 2>&1 &
*
*/
define variable request as character no-undo.
define variable result as character no-undo.
input from value( "/tmp/sample.in" ).
output to value( "/tmp/sample.out" ).
do while true:
import unformatted request.
/* parse it and do something with it... */
result = '<?xml version="1.0"?>~n<status>~n'.
result = result + "ok". /* or whatever turns your crank... */
result = result + "</status>~n".
end.
When input arrives parse the line and do whatever. Spit the answer back out to /tmp/sample.out and loop. It's not very fancy but if your needs are modest it is easy to do. If you need more scalability, robustness or security then you might ultimately need something more sophisticated but this will at least let you get started prototyping.

What is the canonical way to make autoconf link in Solaris network libraries?

On Solaris, when you compile a program that uses sockets, you need to link it with -lnsl -lsocket. Many such programs were originally written for Linux (where no extra libraries are needed), and therefore do not check for these libraries in their configure scripts, even though that is a rather simple addition. Something like this (untested):
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(gethostbyname, nsl, , AC_MSG_ERROR([gethostbyname not found]))
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(connect, socket, , AC_MSG_ERROR([connect not found]))
Is there a canonical way to do this check? Maybe even included in the autoconf distribution? You would imagine that there is a rather widespread need for that, but Google wouldn't tell me.
i think the closest to a canonical way to check this is the AX_LIB_SOCKET_NSL macro from the Autoconf Archive:
# ===========================================================================
# http://www.nongnu.org/autoconf-archive/ax_lib_socket_nsl.html
# ===========================================================================
#
# SYNOPSIS
#
# AX_LIB_SOCKET_NSL
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
# This macro figures out what libraries are required on this platform to
# link sockets programs.
#
# The common cases are not to need any extra libraries, or to need
# -lsocket and -lnsl. We need to avoid linking with libnsl unless we need
# it, though, since on some OSes where it isn't necessary it will totally
# break networking. Unisys also includes gethostbyname() in libsocket but
# needs libnsl for socket().

AU_ALIAS([LIB_SOCKET_NSL], [AX_LIB_SOCKET_NSL])
AC_DEFUN([AX_LIB_SOCKET_NSL],
[
AC_SEARCH_LIBS([gethostbyname], [nsl])
AC_SEARCH_LIBS([socket], [socket], [], [
AC_CHECK_LIB([socket], [socket], [LIBS="-lsocket -lnsl $LIBS"],
[], [-lnsl])])
])
I can't remember any finished code off the top of my head, but you usually want to check whether you can link a program calling the gethostbyname() function without any extra libs first. Only if that fails, you want to try the nsl library.
Similar things apply e.g. for the m library.
