Hi,
I am developing two app on Windows, one is a GUI using wxPython and the other is like a daemon process. The GUI app will have a start/stop button to control the excution of the daemon. While I know how to use os.popen2() to start my daemon, I can't figure out a way to stop it 'nicely'... Is there anything that I can do?
Regards,
-- Wong

You can use the win32process.Te rminateProcess function to kill a
process... see the win32 docs

It depends on your OS. I remember once upon a time, in order to kill
processes sucessfully for all Windows platforms (from Win98 to NT to
2000/XP), I had to resort to using tlist.exe and kill.exe, plus
w9xpopen.exe for pipes in Windows 98. It was kind of annoying... I
seem to remember short name and long names were problem, too. At the
end, the killing logic became a small program in itself!

Mark Hammond's Python for Windows extensions includes a demonstration
of killing processes on Windows:
On my PC:
C:\Python23\Lib \site-packages\win32\ scripts\killPro cName.py
Python for Windows extensions: http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/

But calling TerminateProces s will stop the application right away. I need
someway that the process being killed get notified and thus to carry out
some procedure before shut down. On Linux, I can use kill(pid, signum) to
achive this but on windows?

Is such a thing possible, and if so, where is the information on the event

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
