Just like I wrote in previous thread ("killing thread after timeout") -
I am writting application which read command from socket and run it. I
need to be sure, that this command will not take too much time, so I
need some kind of timeout, and I need to see its stdout and stderr.
So I run command on separate thread, this thread calls
os.system(command), main thread takes care about timeout.
popen or fork/execve would be much better than os.system, but they both
fail on QNX, because os.fork() is not implemented in thread
