CLI

[mwt]

I want to do programmatic terminal commands on unix with python - i.e.
I want my program to issue commands to start and stop scripts, other
programs, etc. I'm sure this must be fairly straightforward , but
haven't been able to find a reference for it. Any help?

If you want to use a real terminal, search for pty. If you just want
to start and stop scripts, check the popen2 module.
