Control process execution

Hi all,
I am trying to create a test environment to a couple C applications
(simple UDP and TCP server/clients), so I want to write this in python
and I m looking for ways to do it. Basically I need an execution timer
and timeout control (to kill the apps in certain situations). Looking
at google, I found the Pexpect package, but I m a little bit lost in
using it.

So, any good suggetions?

Thanks in advance.

Pexpect might be good. But if you are just looking at running an
application
without talking to it interactively then you might be able to just get
by
with os.process.

As far as I know, there is no "os.process ". Maybe you meant os.system
or the subprocess module?

I'am using php 4.3.4 under linux. My php script connects to a NNTP server and I want to control execution time and memory use of this script. PHP is compiled without pcntl support and I can not modify PHP config ( max_exec_time,.....). Is it possible to stop the process if its execution exceeds 10 seconds ? Is it possible to stop the script if memory use exceeds 4 Mo ?
