Is it more appropriate to use os.popen or os.system on a windows XP client? I'm calling the operting system's shutdown function like this:
restart = os.popen(shutdown -r -f) print restart.read() restart.close()
I don't think there's any significant difference between the above (assuming you add in the missing quotation marks) and os.system('shutdown -r -f'), except that the os.system() approach is shorter and more readable if you are simply discarding or printing the output like that.

You can't be doing exactly that, since there are no sockets involved... do you mean the above call is executed -- on the receiving end -- after some signal is received via a socket in another part of the code? That's not going to have any effect on things...
