Perhaps you can show what you would do from the
unix command line.

Typically you use os.system('ls -l') or whatever if you
don't need to process the output of the unix commands in
the python program.

If you need the output, you do something like
pingData = os.popen('ping www.python.org').readlines() etc.

You can obviously use the ordinary unix shell magic fo run
more than one command in os.system or os.popen. It's easier
to say if you show what you need to do.
