Don't killproc the python threads? just a thought or maybe you want to kill
them first. I haven't programmed in python, but if this were C, or Perl I
would trap the kill signal and shutdown my children first. If they shutdown
properly then I would shutdown the parent and return zero or what ever
killproc wants to feel happy. If they (anyone of my children) didn't shutdown
I would return something that whould make killproc become angry. Is killproc
a function of python? I'm just curious since I don't see any info or manual
pages?
