Killing a script launched in a Process via os.system()

Question

I have a python script which launches several processes. Each process basically just calls a shell script:

from multiprocessing import Process
import os
imp         


        

Answer 1

You should use an event to signal the worker to terminate, run the subprocess with subprocess module, then terminate it with Popen.terminate(). Calling Process.terminate() will not allow it worker to clean up. See the documentation for Process.terminate().
