Hi all, I have written a small program in Python which acts as a wrapper around mpd and natd on a FreeBSD system. It gets the status, restarts the processes, etc...
Then, I created a tiny cherrypy webapp which provides a webinterface to this program. All works fine, but for the following problem: cherrypy listens on port 1234. whenever I browse to that port and invoke any action that involves (re)starting mpd or natd, which happens with commands.getstatusoutput() (which uses os.popen()), I cannot restart cherrypy without killing the mpd and/or natd processes spawned by it in the previous session, because port 1234 willl still be in use. lsof -i tcp tells me that it's exactly those mpd and/or natd processes which are keeping that port 1234 from freeing up after I (succesfully) kill cherrypy. Is there any explanation to this, or, even better, a solution? Thank you very much in advance. -- regards, BBBart "To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible." -Calvin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
