Need help with os.system in linux

[akshay bhat]

Hello
i am calling a program using os.system in python on Linux.
However in i found that program being executed and soon returned 256.
but when i ran it using terminal i got proper results.
Now in case of windows, python waits till the process is finished,
Can you please tell me how to implement this in linux?
