Perhaps cmd="/usr/bin/transmission-remote --torrent %s --info" % torrentno As coded, you are passing a TUPLE of two strings as cmd (fyi: the %s will take the string representation of whatever is the matching argument on the right, so str() isn't needed -- and if you need a number for both --torrent and --info you'll need another %s, and (torrentno, torrentno) on the right) >res=subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True, check=True, universal_newlines=True, >capture_output=True) >print(res) > >CompletedProcess(args=('/usr/bin/transmission-remote --torrent %s --info', >'1'), returncode=0, stdout='', stderr='') -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfr...@ix.netcom.com http://wlfraed.microdiversity.freeddns.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
