This one doesn't work because, it seems, that sh will only execute once the output from my aScript.py is finished. aScript.py runs continuously. I found the solution with the following:

Code:
 aScript.py --user aUser:userPswd server.org PORT CODE | awk -F, 'NR>6 {cmd="curl \42http://aServerSomewhere.com/measurements/url_create?instrument_id=1&VAR1="substr($5,1,2)substr($5,5)"&VAR2="substr($7,1,3)"&VAR3="substr($12,4)"\42";system(cmd)}'
