Option to restart a service from django admin page
I am using Apache2, Django, Mosquitto. I would like to have an option in my Django admin page to restart Mosquitto MQTT server. I came across the subprocess module but I have no idea how to implement the above-mentioned functionality. Basically, my need is to restart Mosquitto by performing the command sudo service mosquitto restart because sometimes Mosquitto freeze up and restarting it is a temporary fix for this issue. Unfortunately, When this happens, I may not have access to my workstation. So it will be convenient if my Django admin page had an option to restart the Mosquitto.
I have added an admin action which is supposed to trigger restart command
def restart_server(modeladmin, request, queryset):
import subprocess
subprocess.call('./reload.sh', shell=True, cwd='/home/ubuntu')
class HomeAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('name', 'alert_mode', 'system_version')
actions = [restart_server,]
reload.sh
#!/bin/bash
sudo service mosquitto restart
django apache apache2 mosquitto

First I thought of extending Django template and adding a custom restart button and writing a view for the button click which will trigger service restart viasubprocess.call()method. But for the time being, I choose to add an admin action in one of model admin. But I couldn't makesubprocesswork to call the restart the command
