After a long, long time (:-(), I'm finally getting a chance to look at this. I've patched buildbot as mentioned earlier in the thread, but I don't see where I should put the pskill command to make it work. At the moment, I have scheduled tasks to pskill python_d and vsjitdebugger. The python_d one runs daily and the debugger one hourly. (I daren't kill python_d too often, or I'll start killing in-progress tests, I assume). The vsjitdebugger one is there because I think it solves the CRT popup issue (I'll add the autoit script as well, but as I'm running as a service, I'm not sure the popup will alwats be visible for the autoit script to pick up...) Presumably, you're inserting a pskill command somewhere into the actual build process. I don't know much about buildbot, but I thought that was controlled by the master and/or the Python build scripts, neither of which I can change. If I want to add a pskill command just after a build/test has run (i.e., about where kill_python runs at the moment) how do I do that?
