You can not start shell skripts from Zope. At least on directly. Create an ExternalMethod that starts your script using os.system() or os.popen(). Check with the Zope Book for details.

First of all: Thanks to Andreas for answering my questions all the time! I read stuff in the python manual about os.system() and I read a tutorial about External methods on zope.org Now I've got following code: -------------------- def ltoh(self): """Compile TeX-File""" import os msg = os.system( 'latex2html /home/mas/test.tex' ) if msg == 0: return 'Successfull' else: return 'Not Successfull' -------------------- That works fine. Now I want to pass a parameter (the filename) and that doesn't work. How do I pass parameters? I tried a few things but nothing worked... A link to a good tutorial or manual would be great also. Thanks in Advance -mas
