使用Cron Job运行Python脚本时发出Ping问题

Question

I wrote a Python script to periodically ping network devices to ensure they are connected. My pinging code is as follows:

response = os.system('ping -q -c 5 ' + ip_address)

This works fine when I run it manually, however, when I run it as a cron job I get the response:

sh: ping: command not found

I have tried having the cron job run the program as both a packaged application which I created using pyinstaller, and directly as a Python script. Regardless, I get the same error for both (and the correct result when I run either manually).

Answer 1

通过将“ / sbin / ping”指定为命令来修复。
