If you don't specify a pid os.wait should return as soon as *any*
child process terminates. Which is why it returns the pid - to tell
you which child died...
At least that's what I'd expec

p.wait will be called for each process in the list so its not quite
the same as a single os.wait but then that might be what's wanted!

Yikes, even more batteries. When did that appear, I've never seen
it before! - Aha! Its 2.4 that's why I havemn't seen it, as ever I
am one release behind the bleeding edge on 2.3...

Bash is optimised for process control, in that it excels.
For general purpose programming it i
Thanks Pierre & Kent. The subprocess.Popen worked beautifully.

You might like the subprocess module - something like this
I do not understand why you don't want the so simple fork/exec pattern !
In UNIX programming this is the way to go ...
I cannot think of anything simpler than that :
for i in xrange( 10 ):
pid = os.fork()
if not pid:
os.execv( "/bin/echo", [ "echo", "toto" ] )
try:
while True:
