I'm calling a python script from a php script which again calls a perl

This seems to work fine so far only that once the python script
completed it is becoming a zombie because the perl script in the
background is still running... so before i exit the python script, i
would need to kill my perl subprocess.
How can i do so?
x.terminate() (and then x.wait()) where x is the value returned by
subprocess.Popen().
Well, this is what I have:
writelog("starting GPS simulator")
commandlist=[GPSsim,proto,GPSfile]
writelog(commandlist[0]+" "+commandlist[1]+" "+commandlist[2])
process=subprocess.Popen(commandlist)
writelog("GPS simulator started")
...
...
os.kill(process.pid,9)
os.wait()
but this is not working for me... :( any clues?
P/S: I'm not sure why the python process survives, and I think your use
of "zombie" is not correct (afaik a zombie is an exited process whose
parent hasn't called wait() yet)
This is what I have:
localhost cgi-bin # ps ax | grep py
11853 ? Z 0:00 [python2.6]<defunct>
12029 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --colour=auto py
The 'Z' you see there stands for Zombie
How about:
process.kill() # New in Python 2.6
or:
os.kill(process.pid, 9)
then:
process.wait()
or:
os.waitpid(process.pid, 0)
