This method has so many issues attached to it it's hardly worth bothering with. I'm with Nick when I say why on earth are you needing to call Python from within PHP as opposed to using only Python or only PHP? Alex. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought the warning before hand
could've suggested that this implementation wasn't the best. I'll be
more explicit in the future.

Hey! With regards checking feeds, look into urllib (maybe) and the httplib (definitely). They /could/ offer some sort of information regarding the activity of your feeds. Without knowing anything about the streaming protocols I wouldn't suggest my methods to necessarily be the most helpful. You could, at least [maybe], establish whether a feed is active if it can return a HTTP 200 response. If that's a sufficient check I would suggest that httplib is the place to start.

Re: How to pass a multiline arg to exec('some.exe arg')?

I think your problem lies with your "\n", escape chars. Assuming these
are not arguments and are indeed separating statements, I suggest
replacing "\n", with "&". That way, the command shell probably wont
complain.
An example:
ml = 'line1 & line2 & line3'
