[Zope] External script question

[Kevin Carlson]

Jerome,

It is a rather long involved script, but here is the piece that is failing.
I am trying to integrate with mailman and create a new list by using the
following script:

   nlcommand = "/home/mailman/bin/newlist -q test test@test.org test"

   if(os.system(nlCommand)) :
      retval = "newlist command failed."
      return retval


When I run this script fragment from the shell logged in as user "zope", the
newlist command succeeds.  However, when I run it from the Test tab as
mentioned, it fails.  If I comment out these few lines, the rest of the
script runs as expected.

Kevin

could you show us the script so we could look at it and maybe be able to
answer ?
