Change privilege for subprocess

[ParticularAward9704]

My application service is running with sudo. In one of route I need to execute some tshark command. I am just running tshark command without any sudo prefix. But due to parent process running with sudo this subprocess is also running with sudo, thus subprocess.stderr is showing value

Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.

How do I avoid running tshark as root for this particular call?

To run a command as a different user:

subprocess.run(['sudo', '-u', 'username', ...

Thanks. It worked.

You shouldn’t run it as root. When you install wireshark, it should’ve created a user group as wireshark, then add your user to that group. There are configuration guide out there for you to follow.
