I'm a little bit confused about what is the best way to run a shell command, if I want to run a command like
xxxxxx -a -b > yyyyyy where I'm not interested in the output, I only want to make sure that the command was executed OK. How should I invoke this (in a Unix/linux environment)? The command module seem to give the resulting output and the various popen commands seem to be similar. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
