There is a module called subprocess. Look in to in.

Pfft... hate it when people post RTFM.
If you just want a simple IO on the script file try

import commands
 
output = commands.getstatusoutput('/home/transfer/check.sh')
 

That will return back a tupple of the return code and the string output to console.
If thats not quite right, you can check the commands module or if you need even more leverage with the console there is the module subprocess.

Edit: That is assuming you banged your shell script. If not you will have to change that to '/bin/sh /home/transfer/check.sh' OR just bang the script and give it execute permission.

We generally don't anwser questions that can be easily found with a Google http://www.google.com/search?client=...hannel=suggest because that indicates that the person is just lazy.

I like Doug Hellmann's explanation of subprocess.
