Hi

I am trying to modify a small program i found off the internet as follows... I can get the 'tracert' to work and it gives me all the info back. However, when i replace the tracert with 'ping', the commamd prompt shows 'testing' and the script freezes... any suggestions as why it is doing that.

import os
import sys
xyz = 1

while xyz==1:
ip = raw_input("comm and >")
zx = open("log.txt", "a")

if ip.lower()=="ex it":
ask = raw_input("Are you sure you want to exit? (Y\\N) ")

if ask.lower()=="y ":
sys.exit()
elif ask.lower()=="n ":
print("That's what I thought.")
else:
print("Wrong choice. Retard.")

elif ip.lower()=="ra nge":
stin = raw_input("Ente r function: ")
sec = raw_input("Ente r the first 3 sections: ")
b = raw_input("Ente r beginning number: ")
intb=int(b)
e = int(raw_input(" Enter ending number: "))

while intb<=e:
print (stin + ' ' + sec + '.' + b )
z = os.system(stin + ' ' + sec + '.' + b )
print z

if z==0:
print(""+str(se c)+"."+str(b)+ " is online.")
zx.write(""+str (sec)+"."+str(b )+" is online.\n")
elif z==1:
print("Either "+str(sec)+"."+ str(b)+" is offline, or ping request has been blocked.")
zx.write("Eithe r "+str(sec)+"."+ str(b)+" is offline, or ping request has been blocked.\n")

intb = intb + 1
b=str(intb)

else:

print("Wrong choice. Retard.")

I love that you call the users of your app retards :) That rocks!

ping runs forever. tracert doesnt.
try:

ping -w 5
