You can use the Popen-objects pid to see if a process still runs. > And if possible, I would like to see an exception thrown when that > happens.. Not possible - that exception would be asynchronous to your program flow. The only thing I can think of that would make this possible is to have a second thread waiting for process termination - and sending the own process a signal. If I'm not mistaken, that will be propagated to the main thread. All this is meant to be running on unix - not sure how thinks work out on windows. -- Regards, Diez B.
