I'm running a monitoring script under linux written in python. It's nohup'ed so
that I can log out and it will continue running happily and so on, but
sometimes I need to kill the script before editing the source and relaunching it.
Question is, what's the nicest way to kill the python process under linux? Is a
simple 'kill [process-id]' the nicest way to do it, or is there a different
signal I should send it?

It's a matter of convention, e.g. xinetd uses the USR2 signal.
Unless you use kill -9 which can't be handled by the application
anything is fine if the user knows what signal to send and your script
catches the signal to stop gracefully.

If you want to be really nice, kill -SIGINT [pid] will generate a
KeyboardInterru pt in Python that can be caught by the Python program, but
the program could be set to ignore it. Otherwise kill [pid] (equivalent
to kill -SIGTERM [pid]) is nice enough (it allows Python to do cleanup,
etc.). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

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?

Hello!
This question does not concern programming in python, but how to manage
python processes. Is there a way to "name" a python process? At least
on Linux, if I have two python programs running, they both run under
the name "python"

I am running Fedora Linux and KDE, using the Konsole command line.
When coding Python, I regularly make a bug causing my program to not

The default way of killing the current process on the command line is
Ctrl+C, but that doesn't work with Python. Neither do the "terminate

Yes I've seen that each python script calls its own instance of Python. Buthow to know which is the good one in bash ? Is there a command that gets the parameters of process, so I could use grep to select the one containing the name of my script ?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
