How to print the IP which shows destination host unreachable - MeeranRizvi - Jan-11-2017
Hello Guys,
Here i am writing a script to ping a certain range of ip in python.I just did with which ip is pingable and which ip is not pingable,i just need to print which ip shows destination host unreachable also.How to do that?
print "Enter the start ip:"
save=raw_input()
print "Enter the end ip:"
save1=raw_input()
start=int(save.split('.')[-1])
end=int(save1.split('.')[-1])
b=save.rsplit('.', 1)[0]
def ip():
import os
for i in range(start,end):
IP= str(b)+'.'+str(i)
a = os.system("ping -n 1 " + IP)
if a == 0:
print IP, 'is pingable'
else:
print IP, "is not pingable"
ip()
Output:Enter the start ip:
172.30.36.90
Enter the end ip:
172.30.36.95

You should use subrocess.check_output.
Note that this is also recommended in the docs for os.system:
Quote:subprocess module provides more powerful facilities for spawning new processes and retrieving their results; using that module is preferable to using this function. See the Replacing Older Functions with the subprocess Module section in the subprocess documentation for some helpful recipes.

Hello!
You have to check which system you run the script and do the ping the right way. On Windows pings counting option key is
-n but -c in LinuxSee: https://docs.python.org/2/library/sys.html#sys.platform

Actually that's not true, at least on Win7 :-)
the option switch is -n

the option switch is -n
RE: How to print the IP which shows destination host unreachable - buran - Jan-11-2017
Well, did you check your link?
There is no -c option in either version... In both cases: -n count Number of echo requests to send.

Well, -c is in Linux. Where is my mind
