ping - Using sudo in python script -


i working on project pings lan devices , writes avg_time taken ping in mysql db.

# python script update contents of mysql database  import mysqldb import subprocess import re  #connecting mysql database db = mysqldb.connect("localhost","templocal","thunderbolt","dbavgspeed") #initializing cursor cur = db.cursor()  error = "request"  while 1:     # 0.1 interval between pings , 4 number of times ping operation performed , -t 1 sets timeout 1 sec      command1 = ['ping','-n','-i','0.1','-t','1','-c','400','192.168.1.1']     p1 = subprocess.popen(command1,stdout=subprocess.pipe)     #text string stores output terminal     text1 = p1.stdout.read()       if error in text1:         status1 = 0         cur.execute("""update tbavgspeed set status = %s id = %s""",(status1,1))         db.commit()     else:         status1 = 1          find11 = re.search("stddev(.+?)ms", text1)         allvalues1 = find11.group(1)         find12 = re.search("/(.+?)/", allvalues1)         avgtime1 = find12.group(1)          cur.execute("""update tbavgspeed set avg_time = %s, status = %s id = %s""",(avgtime1,status1,1))         db.commit()  #terminates connection db.close() 
  • the script working fine simple ping command, how use flood ping (ping -f) through python script requires sudo
  • is there better way calculate current data transfer rate router

you run python script sudo. example:

import os os.system('ping -f google.com') 

without sudo:

$ python >>> import os >>> os.system('ping -f google.com') ping: -f flag: operation not permitted 19712 

with sudo:

$ sudo python >>> import os >>> os.system('ping -f google.com') ping google.com (172.217.6.78): 56 data bytes .^c --- google.com ping statistics --- 409 packets transmitted, 408 packets received, 0.2% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 3.334/3.645/9.459/0.362 ms 0
