This cannot work, since proc is not a global variable, it's local to
invoke_server1. You could do something like this instead:
def invoke_server1()
return subprocess.Popen([r'D:\372\pythonweb\mongoose-2.8.exe',
'-root', r'D:\New1\"])
server1_proc = invoke_server1()
time.sleep(10)
server1_proc.kill()
Are you running the code from a command prompt ? It should have printed
a nice and helpful NameError. Had you read that error message, it should
have been easy to figure out that there's something wrong with your
variable scopes.
