I have a build system that is outputting various forms of installations in a particular directory structure, e.g. /pxe-installs, /iso-install, /dd-installs, etc... I need to monitor each directory for the latest install, take it and go perform some tests on a specific machine. I would like these testing tasks to run concurrently for the obvious reasons. Thanks again for the help, Minesh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
