FWIW, although it's not obvious, the args parameter to spawnl
is intended to become the sys.args (in Python terms) of the
newly-spawned process. Which is why the first element is expected
to be the name of the process. It took me some time to realise
this myself :)

Anyway, glad we could be of help.
