Always be careful with int() incase any of the values have a leading zero - check the documentation for int() carefully. Cheers, Tim Delaney

Here is the code: def killApplication(): pid = file('/var/lock/MyApplication.lock').read().strip() logging.info('Killing Application Process: %s' % pid) os.kill(pid, 15) logging.info('Application %s Killed' % pid) As you can see if rips the PID from the lock file, which works fine as I get log data which says 'Killing Application Process: 3079' exactly as I would expect it too. However when I run this script I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/pblue/new/Alive.py", line 50, in ? main() File "/pblue/new/Alive.py", line 47, in main doCheck() File "/pblue/new/Alive.py", line 43, in doCheck killApplication() File "/pblue/new/Alive.py", line 28, in killApplication os.kill(pid, 15) TypeError: an integer is required Which would suggest its passing those arguments in as the wrong data types to the kill command. What is the best way to convert these? Thanks guys, Rob
