Many thanks for your answers. Respect Init, I need a cross platform solution. Most of times my system will run in Win98 and XP (more on XP than 98)
Respect Twisted... Mmm... I already started with another networking library (TCPServer and SimpleXMLRPCServer), and I wouldn't like to mix things because I don't know so much about those libraries. I know that Twisted can do what I already have. But replacing it can be a hard task. So I would like to have a function like FindPID(exename) --> PID, or something more generic that could tell me the PID of a running program, and kill him in a certain moment.
