run script without Root.

I have same problem when I running command: os.system(f"""tshark -r {path_pcap_file} -T json >{path_json_file}""") in the my project. Project is working by a supervisord, that blocked my command. I solved this problem, when I added parametr chmod=0777 in supervisord.ini.

run script without Root.

You need "Root" to run QCSuper, it is in the documentation. Any chance of a sensible answer please?

Hello,

QCSuper needs to be run as root only when using the --usb-modem data source (which allows to communicate directly with an USB dongle-like device).

When using --adb it is better to run as non-root.

QCSuper attempts to drop the privilege for the child Wireshark instance, in order to avoid certain other issues, but using the --wireshark-live option along with the root user may lead to unpredictable behavior. Maybe you may try to adjust the HOME environment variable (and run sudo with the -E option, if using it) in order to overcome the issue?

Regards,
