Aloha! I want to terminate a process/program from within a python script. For example, if I have a program say foo.sh that starts running, then I can run it from within a python script using os.popen('foo.sh') which starts a program/process say 'bar'
At some point later, I want to kill 'bar'. Currently, I start off the process and then when the python script exits, the process 'bar' is still running and I have to issue ps -ef | grep 'bar' and then kill it. Is there any better way of doing this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
