Hi,
My query is...
I have a parent process which forks a child process to perform certain
task.
I wish to terminate the child process after certain amount of time
(say 60 secs).
Since I dont wish to leave any zombie process, I need to notify the
Child that it has to terminate now.
The parent can terminate only after all the child processes have
terminated.
How can I achieve this task.
I heard something about SIGUSR1 signal but not sure how to use it and
how it can be useful...
Can anyone guide me please?
Thanks.

Remember the child's PID when you fork(2), and send it a suitable
signal with kill(2). Then in the parent process, call wait(2) so that
the child doesn't remain in the kernel process table as a zombie. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

My application starts up a number of processes for various purposes using:
self.popen = popen2.Popen3("/usr/local/bin/python -O "myscript.py")
and then shuts them down when appropriate with
os.kill(self.popen.pid, signal.SIGTERM)
Everything works fine on MacOSX. However, I'm doing a port to Solaris (so I
can run it on my web site) and find that the child processes are not
stopping! Solaris is creating TWO new processes: one for the SHELL...

Hi.
From my Python-program I spawn a new process. When using P_NOWAIT spawnl
returns the pid but in windows it returns a process handle.
Later I want to kill this process. How can I do this when I only have the
process handle?

Deall All,
Could anybody suggestion me How to kill all inherrit processes
(sibling child,previous and parent process) in the case I know only
child process id and user id, For example I strart to trace pid 124 of
user A (uid = 100) and then I noticed that he doing something wrong
so, I get process id now process id is 156 (supposed) then I want to
kill all inherrit processes of user A (now I know only this process is
156 and uid is 100)...

this seemed pretty straight forward with a single executable being run

I kill the shell script, but the xterm is still running... I cannot seem

Suppose we spawn a child process with Popen. I'm thinking of an
executable file, like a compiled C program.
Suppose it is supposed to run for one minute, but it just keeps going
and going. Does Python have any way to kill it?
This is not hypothetical; I'm doing it now, and it's working pretty
well, but I would like to be able to handle this run-on condition. I'm
using Windows 2000, but I want my program to be portable to linux.

Hi Fellows,
I have a problem with process termination. I have a python code that
apache runs through a django interface.
The code is very simple, first, it creates a process with the
subprocess.Popen call, and afterwards, (using a web request) the
python code uses the PID of the previously created process(stored in a
db) and kills it with an os.kill call using the SIGKILL signal.
The creation of the process is ok, apache calls the...
