linuxgeek: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Killing Child Processes

Hi,
   Thanks for responding. I meant I want to write a python script to handle killing processes
   already open. So if I were running some app that spawns other processes I can use my
   python script and kill the running processes spawned by the parent process. I wrote
   a python script to do this but I was unsuccessful in killing all the sub processes.
   I hope this is more clear.

   Thanks

what do you mean by "using python"??

Do you mean killing parent/child processes that are started from

within a python program, or using python to kill something that's

already open?
