I have script that calls a system command that I want to run for 5 minutes. """ import os cmd = 'tcpdump -n -i eth0' os.system(cmd) """
I can start a timer after the cmd is issued, but I don't know how to send a control signal to stop the command after I issued it. This is normally from the shell ^c. This cmd my run in more than one thread on different interfaces and I don't whant all of then stopped at once. I think the best way is to make a thread for each interface where the cmd can be issued and stopped without the danger of stopping he wrong thread. Can anybody help?
