If you can get the pid of the process you created, you should be able to use the killProcName function that's included with the win32 package...if you're server is a Windows box. You should be able to use the join() method if you don't set your thread to a Daemon. This post talks about using the os module to kill a thread as well: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread36752.html The wxPython wiki has one of the best threading examples I've seen: http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/LongRunningTasks Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
