Hi, I call an external windows program (.exe) from a python script. Something like os.system('test.exe'). I want to set a timeout for the external windows program to return. If no results are produced by the external windows program (test.ext) within this timeout limit, I want to terminate the external windows program and continue with the python script.
How do I set the timeout and terminiate the external windows program from within the Python script? Thanks.
