That is a good idea. You could also make the parent a process group leader and kill the process group. You'll get the kill signal too which you'll need to ignore. That is how the shell keeps track of things IIRC. Read man setpgid, getpgid should be helful. There are equivalent commands in os, ie os.setpgid and os.getpgid. -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
