Thanks for the reply Michael. I used ls as a simple example, but I'm
using this with scp to transfer files and need shell expansion. It
makes sense since the shell isn't spawning the process, but it's been
a while since I've worked with ipc. I had converted to os.system
before posting, but subprocess gives me more control than I originally
hoped for
Thanks again
