os.system

This works in the test mode, but jeeps isn't called when executed as a
CGI.  Any comments would be appreciated.

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, cgi, string, os
print "content-type: text/html"
print
print "<title>Python Rules!</title>"
print "<body><br>"
sys.stdout.write('who done it?')	# no \n at the end
print "junk"

os.system("jeeps")	#doesn't get called when CGI

print "</body>"
print "</html>"
if __name__=="__main__": cgi.test()

-------		here's the script called jeeps

#!/bin/sh
date > jnkdate

TIA
