Re: [Tutor] Help with daemon
Hi I will make it with CRON. Thanks Max for the idea Now I have another problem How can I kill a process??? I know that if I run ps --user username it returns all the process started by username even the PIDs and with kill -9 PID I destroy the process but I don't know how to execute it from Python I tried: import os os.system("ps --user root") and I get 0 as a return How can I get the PID and bind the command above with a variable?? I mean varusername="root" os.system("ps --user varusername") works??? thanks in advanced Alberto From: Max Noel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Alberto Troiano" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CC: tutor@python.org Subject: Re: [Tutor] Help with daemon Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2005 23:38:00 +0100 On Apr 27, 2005, at 22:35, Alberto Troiano wrote: I'm gonna give you an example: The program will check for new users and to check record time every 10 seconds.
