(2) test program with multiprocessing Both processes receives SIGINT. OS apparently distributes the SIGINT event to processes associated with the terminal.
Yes, to avoid that, the child process has to detach itself from the terminal. I'd expect the multiprocessing module to do that for us - but it doesn't. See http://www.onlamp.com/python/pythoncook2/solution.csp?day=1
(3) signal handler I realized that I could assign a signal handler specific to a process by placing it to a worker method. def worker(): # this process ignores SIGINT signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_IGN) ... the rest ...
Looks fine...
(4) terminating the spawned process I needed to send a shutdown message to the process via a communication between two processes. You can use Process.terminate() to brutally kill the process but that is a last resort.
What about sending a signal, like SIGTERM? -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
