splitted will never equal 'UP' or 'DOWN' because the result
of split() is always a list - even if its empty. So I suspect
you are not actually executing any up/down operations.

Try using splitted[0] instead.

The other problem is that you use a while loop but never
change the condition values so, if it ever did pass the test,
you'd wind up with an infinite loop! You only need an if clause
not a while.
