Hi, I need to run the ping command, I want to check my own IP is up or not. Thanks.

It's on the way. Should be there with the next system image. Maybe use curl while you are waiting.

Thanks you, Do you think curl can work with IPs?

curl can work with IPs. You will get Connection refused if there is no server listening on port 80, and No route to host if the IP is not there. Try curl --head <ip_nmber> that should do the job.

unfortunately, did not work, i got that can not run more than one socket at the same time!

That sounds strange! Could you copy/paste the exact command you ran (replacing the IP address with XXX if you don't want it to be public) and the full error message?

def ping_command(ip): try: print("<--", ip) os.system(f'curl --head {ip}') return True except: return False

also, I tried subprocess.run() both did not work, Any idea, or when the ping command will work?

What is the actual error message?

when i use subprocess.run() I got this:

That's not an error message, that is just the server log for a normal looking web app startup. Look in your error log for logs of errors.

so, the line should do the command does not work! the server can not execute this line. any other option? or should wait when ping will work? Thanks

If you do not tell us what "does not work" means, then we have no way to help you. What is the error when you run "os.system(f'curl --head {ip}')"?

I figured this out, I tried os.system(f'curl --head www.google.com') and it works. but when I tried os.system(f'curl --head 8.8.8.8') did not work. I did not get any error it is still running with no output.(stuck), curl --head does not work with IP address.

Any update? Thanks.

Curl does work with IPs, but only if the IP address in question is running an HTTP/HTTPS server of some kind. 8.8.8.8 is Google's DNS server rather than its website, so it won't work with curl.

What is running on the actual IP address that you're trying to monitor?

I am managing internet services, so I need to monitor my IPs. any way to do that or how much time need to wait for the update that allows the ping command?

Maybe try pythonping · PyPI
