OS commands

[Andrew Markebo]

Sounds like you need fork or threads or so.. Unfortunetaly I have only
seen fork on unix.

Thought 2, "start [some switch] <command>" might do what you want.

p.s. sorry for the multiple post, my server doesn't support
        supercede.. *kicks newsadmin*

| No I'm afraid not- os.system cannot spawn remote processes- i.e. it waits
