when will wxKill be ported to the windows version?
I’m looking for an easy way to Kill an external program that is started by my program. It is started via a checkbox and I would like to kill it when the checkbox is unchecked. I capture the pid and would like to kill it via the pid.
Any idea’s
Grant (da gup)

Assuming you're running on a Unix OS:
import os
def run(program, *args):
pid = os.fork()
if pid == 0:
os.execvp(program, (program,) + args)
else:
return pid
def kill(pid, signal = 9):
os.system("kill -%d %d" % (signal, pid))
pid = run("find", "/usr")
kill(pid)

Assuming you're running on a Unix OS:
import os
[...]
def kill(pid, signal = 9):
os.system("kill -%d %d" % (signal, pid))
Or you could just use os.kill

Well... yeah. _If_ you wanted to do it the easy way

One more thing. To avoid having zombie (defunct) processes hanging about, you
have to do an os.wait() on the pid, so here's a revised solution (including
using os.kill :
import os
def run(program, *args):
pid = os.fork()
if pid == 0:
os.execvp(program, (program,) + args)
else:
return pid
pid = run("find", "/usr")
os.kill(pid)
os.waitpid(pid, 0)
Don't know why I don't read my own source (having done this before) before
posting answers...

And you have to pass the signal to os.kill <blush>:
import os, signal
def run(program, *args):
pid = os.fork()
if pid == 0:
os.execvp(program, (program,) + args)
else:
return pid
pid = run("find", "/usr")
os.kill(pid. signal.SIGTERM)
os.waitpid(pid, 0)

Cliff Wells blabbered:
os.kill(pid. signal.SIGTERM)
should be
os.kill(pid, signal.SIGTERM)
