You're actually asking multiple subquestions here, let me start by asking a clarifying question:
When you say "log in to the Linux machine" I assume you mean you need to access a remote host? Your script will be running locally? Next your other questions: Checking permissions of a file: Look into the os module. Checking for substrings: This is has many answers. Have you tried to do this yet?
