If I use popen2, I need to write to one of the tuple parts.
>>> f = os.popen2('ping 192.168.8.85 -c 100 > cap1.txt')
>>> f[0].write('\x03')
Thank command works, but 'f[1]' is in read-only mode and I can't write
to it.
My command in the background is still not terminated.
BTW I use Linux as OS.
So, it doesn't work.
