Hi
I am trying to write a script to run a bash script that has the absolute path to a file passed to it. I am using subproces to run the bash script and all files except for the mkv files are in the same folder

root = "/mnt/Anime/Series/-Akuyaku Reijou Level 99/"
#  Scan directory for .mkv files
for root, directory, files in os.walk(root, topdown=True):
    directory.sort()
    for filename in sorted(files):
        if filename.endswith(".mkv"):
            full_path = os.path.join(root, filename)
            print(f"{full_path}")
            subprocess.call(["./file-rename.sh", f"{full_path}" ])

Unfortunately most of the example on the internet deal with passing commands so I am not even sure the way I doing it is possible.

Here is the output

madzi@Network-Rage:~/dev/linx-scripting/bash-scripts/bulk-rename$ python3 file-rename.py
/mnt/Anime/Series/-Akuyaku Reijou Level 99/[ASW] Akuyaku Reijou Level 99 - 01 [1080p HEVC].mkv
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/subprocess.py", line 389, in call
    with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as p:

    raise child_exception_type(errno_num, err_msg, err_filename)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './file-rename.sh'

Any help would be appreciated.

where is file-rename.sh in relation to the python script

tardy swift
#

In the same directory. Only the media files are in another directory.

it can't find the script for some reason

I've figured it out, I'm such an idiot. I used the wrong name in the script.
