Oops! The problem isn't in the os.system call. It's in the fact that I
don't
call the function. That is, I write a script called "test.py" with a
function in it called "freshReboot". Now, how do I call that function from
test.py? That is, how do I write a cron event such that "freshReboot"
actually gets called when I run test.py?


Just call the function name within the test.py itself

def freshReboot():
...
...
...
...

if __name__ == '__main__':
freshReboot()

(or)

freshReboot()

Now, run test.py. If you are printing anything or having a return value,
then it will be displayed in the terminal from where you call the program.
If you are executing it from another script, then the return value will be
returned where it is being called.
