Can you trim content and interleave your response (instead of top-posting) please?

I wouldn't say that this is verified. Have you verified that without the last redirection (to the output file) you can correctly read the stdout from within Python? Does the same command work if you put it in a shell script? If so what about making a script like so: #!/usr/bin/env bash jobname="$1" /usr/local/Calpont/mysql/bin/mysql --defaults-file=/usr/local/Calpont/mysql/my.cnf -u root myDB < "/home/myusr/jobs/APP_JOBS/JOB_${jobname}.SQL" | sudo tee "/home/myusr/jobs/APP_JOBS/JOB_${jobname}.TXT" If that works when you run it directly, does it work if you do: subprocess.check_call(['myscript.sh', jobname]) Oscar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
