Execute a command from a cgi script

[simo]

I'm not going to say "that will teach you for using Windows/IIS
instead of Linux/Apache" ;o)

Anyway, what errors, if any are you getting?

Are you sure it's not a path issue - like where on your filesystem is
your Python CGI script in comparison with the .bat file? Same
directory?

Is perhaps the problem the batch file and not actually the Python
script (maybe the batch file is not returning anything to Python?)
