[Jython-users] How to call external commands

[John E. C. <jc...@ve...>]

Hi Jython users,

I would like to replace my bat and sh startup scripts with jython py
scripts.  But after experimentation I can not figure out how to call
external executables in my underlying system.  

Have seen comments that the os.system(name) command is not yet implemented.
 Is there any other way to launch external programs without the os.system
command?

thanks for any suggestions,

John
