Just like I wrote in previous thread ("killing thread after timeout") - I am writting application which read command from socket and run it. I need to be sure, that this command will not take too much time, so I need some kind of timeout, and I need to see its stdout and stderr. So I run command on separate thread, this thread calls os.system(command), main thread takes care about timeout. popen or fork/execve would be much better than os.system, but they both fail on QNX, because os.fork() is not implemented in thread -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
