[Zope] Why doesn't os.system(command) work?

[rieh25]

It works when I start Zope with runzope, instead of starting it a a server.
It's not really a problem to me because I can create a windows shceduled
task to start zope everytime the server is turned on. I need to do it from
Zope because the user needs to specify some parameters for the query, so I'm
going to do it this way instead of using some other tool... Thanks to all
