When executed from within zope, (this i've done via external command that executes os.system(...)) A task is started to executed it, but the task hangs.

os.system will spew to stdout, which a daemon process like Zope probably won't enjoy much.

If Zope really runs as daemon (on *nix), "stdout" and "stderr" are redirected to "/dev/null". Output will simply be discarded. By the way, "stdin" will be "/dev/null", too. -- Dieter
