How could i add a condition stop to ettercap command?

Question

I can stop manually the ettercap task with “q” key but i need add a condition stop to my python3 script to automate my process. Could someone help me?

Pd: sorry for my poor english.

Thanks,

Antonio.

I don't know anything about ettercap, or even what it is, but as a worst-case hackish solution you could send a q into ettercap when it's time to stop.

With a program like this:

import time

while not condition:
    time.sleep(0.01)
print("q")

you could run it like this:

python the_above_program.py | ettercap thing

and it would stop when the Python program detected it should.
