Re: Process monitoring
Thanks- subprocess was exactly what I needed. For anyone else that reads this, I just launched a new subprocess via subprocess.Popen, did what I needed to do in a while look, while calling the poll method of the Popen object to check whether it was finished, and if so, what its error code was. Pretty simple. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Process monitoring
Hey, I'm working on a Python program that will launch some other non-Python process using os.spawn (in the os.P_NOWAIT mode) and then basically wait for it to finish (while doing some other stuff in the interim). Normally, the new process will signal that it's done by writing to a file, but I'd like to also find out if the new process died unexpectedly. Anyone know any preferrable ways to do this?
