Subprocess.create_new_console

I have this Python code. import subprocess subprocess.Popen('airmon-ng check kill', creationflags = subprocess.CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE) Python 2.7.6 on Linux Mint gives me the followi

Solution 1:

subprocess.Popen("airmon-ng check kill", shell=True)

Will do what you want, which I presume is to open a shell and execute airmon-ng check kill through Python. I've looked through the subprocess docs and the only thing pointing to CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE states that creationflags is only available in Windows which would explain why it doesn't work in Linux Mint. The docs for CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE also states that

The new process has a new console, instead of inheriting its parent’s console (the default). This flag is always set when Popen is created with shell=True.

So just using shell=True is the best way to do what you want.
