Hi all,
I am not sure if this is a Python or bash issue :).
In bash if I execute 'motion' with the following ...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.kde/share/apps/kmotion$ motion &> /dev/null &
[1] 10734
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.kde/share/apps/kmotion$
I get what I expect, a background job, however if I execute it from
Python with an os.system ...
os.system('motion &> /dev/null &')
I get tons of output to the BASH shell ...
[0] Processing thread 0 - config file /etc/motion/motion.conf
[0] Processing config file /etc/motion/motion.1.conf
[0] Processing config file /etc/motion/motion.2.conf
[1] Thread is from /etc/motion/motion.1.conf
[2] Thread is from /etc/motion/motion.2.conf
[1] Thread started
[2] Thread started
[1] File of type 2 saved to: /var/lib/motion/20080203/01/tmp/175253.jpg
...etc ...
I just can't work out why this is happening & how to stop it ?. Any ideas ?
Cheers
Dave
