os.system()

[Joerg Schuster]

Hello,

code like

os.system(command)

only works for some values of 'command' on my system (Linux). A certain
shell command (that *does* run on the command line) does not work when
called with os.system(). Does anyone know a simple and stable way to
have *any* string executed by the shell?
