Hi,
I am using Python 2.4.4 on Windows XP SP2.
I am trying to start a process (infinite loop application) in the
background and I've tried several options and none of them seem to
work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
P

# This works on PythonWin interactive window, but the python.exe
process hangs until mycmd.exe process dies
>>> os.popen("mycmd.exe myargs") # works
if __name__ == '__main__':
os.popen("mycmd.exe myargs") # hangs
2.
>>> os.system("mycmd.exe myargs") # hangs, as expected
3.
os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT, 'mycmd.exe', 'myargs') # mycmd.exe not started
os.spawnv(os.P_NOWAIT, 'mycmd.exe', tuple('myargs')) # mycmd.exe not
started
4.
# Works, but not portable. My code is expected to run on *nix later on
os.system('start /B "dummy title" "mycmd.exe" myargs')
