I tried also with "ls -lR /" and that definitively takes a while to run,
when I do this:

proc = subprocess.Popen(['ls', '-lR', '/'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

nothing is running, only when I actually do
proc.communicate()

I see the process running in top..
Is it still an observation problem?

Anyway I also need to know when the process is over while waiting, so
probably a thread is the only way..
