Howdy,

Py ver - 3.2, Windows-XP . Logged in as user with admin privileges.
>From my main python program, I am running powershell program using subprocess.Popen(....).
Now I have created a signal_handler() function in main python script which will handle CTRL-C ( This works fine ).
Now when I put "proc.terminate()" in my signal_handler() function to terminate the subprocess created as well,
It is giving me "WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied" error.
I have tried with os.kill() also, same error.  Tried with Popen.kill() also same error. Have googled a bit but couldn't understand them.

In general,  How to kill a subprocesses created from a python program.? If that subprocess also creates a new process from itself, how can I kill all child processes from my main python script.?

Any ideas.??


Thanks,
Nikunj
