Hello

I have the following, which I use within a CherryPy app.  The subprocess bit is 
just to see if it runs or not.   It works on my home PC (Python 2.5.1 on 
Ubuntu), but not on the live host which has Python 2.4.4 on Debian Etch.  


    def daemon():
      while 1:
         myperiodicfunction()
         p = subprocess.Popen('cal > /tmp/stilhere.txt', shell=True)
         time.sleep(30) 

    thread.start_new_thread(daemon,())

Is there a way to get it to work without upgrading Python (which I am not keen 
to do, as I prefer the packaged version & security updates)

Thanks
