Hello list, I need to keep x number of instances of an external applications running, say /bin/x, but also kill and restart each one after y seconds.
What would be the best way to do this (with python 2.5.x)? I'm thinking of having a list of running pids, then have a thread check if len(list) < x, and if it is, then start a new process (with os.spawnv?) and add it to the list. Also in the list i'd keep PIDs and some sort of started-timestamp, so i know which to kill. Does this sound reasonable, or is there an easier way? Thanks. -- Regards, Ghirai. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
