[Zope-dev] how can I call os.spawn? (From a newbie)

I need to kick off a custom (non-CGI) program from a
web request.  I tried to call one of the spawn
functions from the os module (using Python obviously),
but Zope's security won't let me.

[What actually happens is that the browser asks me to
re-authenticate, although I'm already authenticated as
the "super user".]

How can I kick off another process from a Python scipt
in Zope?  or is there another way of doing it?

thanks!
