I ran a script called test, and found this in my process list (sorry, the emailer wraps it): steve 14513 14452 0 21:43 pts/2 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python ./test But I also find that "killall test" kills it. So you don't need "killall python" at all. HTH Steve -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
