Simply drop abused.py into your path, and ensure that -a is not set in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in /etc/portage/make.conf. Then whenver you are installing new packages, use abused in place of emerge (eg: abused multitail) you will be presented with a list of use flags that are used in this action, and a prompt for editing any of them, simply hit enter with no changes to fire off the build.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Ruby recipe 578034 by <a href="/recipes/users/4179778/">Mike 'Fuzzy' Partin</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/dd/">dd</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/ftp/">ftp</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/io/">io</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/net_ftp/">net_ftp</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pipe/">pipe</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pipelining/">pipelining</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/popen/">popen</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/subprocess/">subprocess</a>). Revision 3. </p> <p>Meant to be a slightly more "advanced" dd utility. Supporting FTP/File/STDIN as input streams, and File/STDOUT/PIPE as output targets, and sporting a progress display (very rudimentary atm), add lets you combine network, and file or pipe processing in a single command. But kind of ended up a mess, see the <a href="https://code.activestate.com/recipes/578907-python-awesome-dd/?in=user-4179778">Python version</a> which is pretty clean.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>I have used this for ages to control child processes (and all their children). Some of the existing subprocess module was based on this, but I find this simpler for my uses at least.</p> <h4>Example:</h4> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>import subProcess process = subProcess.subProcess("your shell command") process.read() #timeout is optional handle(process.outdata, process.errdata) del(process) </code></pre>
