[Tutor] how to stop output to terminal

[shawn bright]

lo there all,

i have a simple thread that i want to run without piping any output to the
terminal.
like if i do an

x = os.system("ping -c 1 www.google.com")

i don't want it to show all the stuff in the terminal.

can i disable that ?

can i disable it for only certain lines?

thanks
