Write something to another script - Lsxbash - Jan-23-2019
I just want to write something to another script like this example; When i write msfconsole to terminal is going to opening metasploit so i can do this with os.system() code too , but when metasploit is working can still run my codes?

I assume if you use the subprocess module, and pipe output into the program's stdin, it'd work how you'd expect. But I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, so that's just a guess.
Could you maybe write some pseudocode, showing what you'd want to happen?

@nilamo of course man thanks for reply.
Quote:x = input("exploit name.:")OUT: ============================
os.system("msfconsole")
os.system(x)
OUT: METASPLOIT
OUT: logos etc.
OUT:
OUT: ============================
in: x (i want to write my own codes to here but i can't write because my codes end of after os.system("msfconsole") code)

I don't think you want to be using
os.system(). That's alright if what you're doing is running a command, and you don't really care what the output of that command is, or you don't want to interact with it.You do want to interact with it. So I think you should try the subprocess module: https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html
Using stdin=PIPE and stdout=PIPE, you can communicate with the external process and send commands to it.
You can also look into the
pexpect module, though that isn't built into python. https://pexpect.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
