Hello,
I realized that this new feature of DSM's mod_sys may be really
interesting to SEMS users, so it may be worth an extra note here:
with the sys.popen function, one can execute an external process and
get the result (stdout and result) into DSM variables. This way, it is
even easier to implement some interaction with external data sources
or programs on the system, or script something in your favourite language.
One should keep in mind, though, that a popen incurs quite some
overhead (many system calls etc), so from a performance pov, it may be
advisable to just add some action or condition in a small module
(which is done easily thanks to all the macro trickery), to be
executed in the same process.
