using subprocess module in Python CGI

[ANURAG BAGARIA]

Thank you for the prompt response.

Yeah, I missed out one line at the end of the error, the whole of which is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "process.py", line 18, in <module>
    retval = subprocess.call(comd, 0, None, None, outptr, errptr)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 443, in call
    return Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs).wait()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 593, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1135, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Looking forward to any kind of help or suggestion in this regard.
Thanks.
