TESTPATH as the name implies is a string containing a path to a binary, it's not a unix command (I wrote it), serviceName,rdir,masterAcct,persona,passwd are variables (strings) like:
rdir = 'hostname.con'
masterAcct = 'guy01'
and so on...
i think shell should be false, if the command ("binary") is in the 1st element of the list. I have ever used a self-written C program as command, it worked. But if you want to run the command in a particular shell, you should set shell=true, and set executable option.
following texts are taken from python doc.
Quote:
The executable argument specifies the program to execute. It is very seldom needed: Usually, the program to execute is defined by the args argument. If shell=True, the executable argument specifies which shell to use. On Unix, the default shell is /bin/sh. On Windows, the default shell is specified by the COMSPEC environment variable. The only reason you would need to specify shell=True on Windows is where the command you wish to execute is actually built in to the shell, eg dir, copy. You don’t need shell=True to run a batch file, nor to run a console-based executable.

import subprocess

subprocess.check_call(shlex.split(command))
The subprocess.check_call(shlex.split(command)) actually return what I expect. It returns... (6 Replies)

When I say "Command Line Interface" I mean the wrapper that allows you to type "commands" and have then correspond to pre-programmed actions... all the while making sure that it looks like you are INSIDE a shell of sorts.
