I don't have the child's pid because the parent exits and I don't
really think this stays in the memory... My daemon fork and let
the child kill his parent (violence...) and thats it, later I want the same
parent to kill its child, how can you know the child's pid after he killed
you ?
It is something like:
import os
childpid = os.fork
if (childpid == 0):
child_stuff()
else:
os.exit()

So, what's the problem again? You have the child's pid, don't you?
Not to mention that if you use 'fetchmail -q', you don't need it
anyway!
You might want to look into os.system() to spawn a process in the
background, if you don't want to handle wait() yourself.
