Running the script is simple:
os.system("/bin/finger kernel.org") in an external method should do the
trick.
The difficult part is in catching the reply. The output isn't returned by
the function, it is sent to stdout, and Zope is using stdout for something
other than writing to the browser.
If you care to take over the research from here, enjoy.
