Thanks for the reply. Using subprocess.Popen I am able to get and kill the process. However, the process I am running creates another process (an instance of InDesign Server) so when I kill the first process it doesn't kill the second. Is there any way to capture both PIDs and kill them? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
