Send the output from a running script - MeeranRizvi - Apr-06-2017
Hello Guyz,
Here i am writing a script by pinging an ip continously.
def ip_ping():
import subprocess
b= "172.30.36.136"
a = subprocess.Popen(["ping","-t", b], stdout=subprocess.PIPE).stdout.read()
if a.count("Destination host unreachable.")>5:
print a
ip_ping() when the condition satisfies, it doesn't print the output to the idle shell while the script is running.when i close the running script it gets printed in the Idle shell.
How to print the output while the script is running?
Thanks in Advance.

You need to read output repeatedly, example code with line reading:
import subprocess
def ip_ping(target):
proc = subprocess.Popen(["ping", target], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
while True:
line = proc.stdout.readline()
print line
ip_ping("www.google.com")Output:PING www.google.com (216.58.212.228) 56(84) bytes of data.
