Did you try running it? What happened?

If you run your code from a shell, so you can watch any error messages 
that are generated, you will see this error whenever you click the Run 
button:


Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1410, in 
__call__
    return self.func(*args)
  File "netcat.py", line 14, in startfping
    print "\tnetcat command: " + nccommand
NameError: global name 'nccommand' is not defined

Where is nccommand defined?

How does runcommand() know what command to run?
