Capture file descriptors while running an external program

Hi all!

I have a problem with the module subprocess!
The problem is that the external software that I am running under
subprocess.Pope n opens stdin, stdout, stderr, and other file descriptors to
write and read in the hard drive.
I know how to capture stdin, stdout and stderr, what I cannot do is to capture
the other file-descriptors. Is there any way to wrap those non-standard file
descriptors and make them write and read from a specific object that I define?
I know that I can use tmp files to do that, but i would like something running
without tmp files.

Regards...
Joao

>I have a problem with the module subprocess! As many other programs... I'm not sure what you mean by "non-standard file descriptors". The other program is free to open, read, write, etc any file he wants - are you trying to trap any file operation it may want to do? You *could* do such things -google for "code injection" and "API...

Hi, I tried the packet capture module program. I did a file transfer using ftp from this host to another server. But when I ran the program, it was just hanging off and it did not print the src ip, dst ip, src port, dst port. Should I run this program as a Daemon? If so, how do I do that? I would appreciate your response.
