Thanks a lot. The typo was the actual error.
The external application is now running. But I am getting an error, bad
return value. I have attached the output alongwith my python source.
I would also like to know some library through which it is easy to handle
JSON requests and responses in C. Basically I have to check the JSON request
for a *ready* flag in my external application (which will be in C), do some
processing, and send a JSON response with a *successful* flag.
Regards.
