You might want to split your requirement into more tangible and defined items for your programing solution. - If you need a monitoring service. First try write a small monitoring service. Active state cookbook has some recipes. - If you need to wrap a system executable using Python. Write a python function which wraps that system executable. E.g. is if you want to wrap 'ls and its options' you write a function like def listdir(dir, *options) and then inside the function construct the ls command and pass it subprocess module. This is just a crude definition. YMMV. - Try to combine these two steps and see if that is your desired result. If not, rinse and repeat.
