Erlang, which is geared for such stuff, has its own internal cron https://github.com/erlware/erlcron with 2 sec granularity. Not an ideal solution I guess. Anyway since you are using cron (ie not within the python ecosystem) I am pointing this out. Then you could use the erlang equivalent of python's os.system. In erlang its os:cmd http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/os.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
