newbie question - executing system commands

[Terry Byrne]

I've had good luck with this combo...

    cmdPipe = os.popen(aCmdLine)
    resultStream = cmdPipe.read()

At this point you can look through resultStream for any error codes
that may have been returned by the command line process. Good luck!

HTH,

Terry
