Hello everyone,
I'm new at programming with python and have a question about how I can
solve my problem the correct way. Please forgive my grammar, English
is not my primary language.
I'm looking for a way to repeat my function every 30 seconds.
As an example I have written a ping function. But I would like this
function to repeat itself every 30 seconds, without stopping until I
give it a STOP command (if such a thing exists.)
Code:
import os, sys
def check(host):
try:
output = os.popen('ping -ns 1 %s' % host).read()
alive = output.find('Reply from')
print alive
if alive is -1:
print '%s \t\t DOWN ' % host
else:
print '%s \t\t OK' % host
except OSError, e:
print e
sys.exit()
check('www.google.com')
Let me know if anything is unclear or if there are other
recommendations about doing some parts different.
Kind regards,
Nethirlon
