If the external command is likely to take a long time, you will want to use the scheduler for this. Running other applications is done the same way. Interactive applications will not work well this way, but anything that can be invoked from bash with no input besides command line args should work. I've done the external commands, but I haven't done hardware control.
The answer changes a little if you want to use the camera as a source of live streaming video. You will probably be using cStreamIO calls, perhaps to read a file the camera is dumping data to. I haven't done this at all, but there are some posts in the archives that I've noticed and are about streaming audio. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
