How do I go about > 'processing' the stdout every 10 min? The executable is continuously writting data to stdout, right? So your code will likely be reading that output inside a loop - just check using time.time() if the desired interval has elapsed. Maybe you'd prefer using the subprocess module instead of popen2. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
