    problems with popen (linux7.3 python2.2.2)

    hi,
    When I use:
    os.popen('ssh -l root@something tomcat4 stop')
    I find the command always hangs. The 'something' host contains the correct
    key in the authorized_host s file and works ok on the command prompt. I've
    tried os.system() but this also hangs. I notice that the 'tomcat4 stop' is
    being executed but when I do a 'ps -ef' I notice the popen process is still
    alive. I've also noticed this command sometimes works (ie it doesnt hang)
    but I've no idea why. Has anyone experienced similar problems with this? Or
    does anyone have any alternative suggestions? I'm really at my wits end with
    this one!
    thanks alot,
    Rob
