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'd suggest moving to Zope 2.9, and then using Ptyon 2.4's subprocess module which handles these kinda things much better. Also, I echo Dieter's comments on stuff that needs to be run as root... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
