Hi, I want to invoke local wen server named mogoose, and kill it after some time by python script. Then i want to change the argument and invoke it again.
I am able to do this with below code. import subprocess import time def invoke_server1(): s1ret=subprocess.Popen(r'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C "D: \372\pythonweb\mongoose-2.8.exe >YourOutput.txt"') print s1ret def invoke_server2(): s2ret=subprocess.Popen(r'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C "D: \372\pythonweb\mongoose-2.8.exe -root D:\New1\ >YourOutput.txt"') print s2ret def invoke_server3(): s3ret=subprocess.Popen(r'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C "D: \372\pythonweb\mongoose-2.8.exe -root D:\New2\ >YourOutput.txt"') print s3ret def kill_server(): killret=subprocess.Popen(r'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c "taskkill /F /IM mongoose-2.8.exe >YourOutput1.txt"') print killret kill_server() time.sleep(5) invoke_server1() time.sleep(5) kill_server() time.sleep(5) invoke_server2() time.sleep(5) kill_server() time.sleep(10) invoke_server3() time.sleep(5) kill_server() This works fine in python26 ,but when i use this code in one testing tool, server is invoked 1st time properly.but for second time it says process already occupied cannot access the process. I am not able to understand why subprocess.Popen(r'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c "taskkill /F /IM mongoose-2.8.exe is not working second time .Please guide me in this respect. Or please tell me is there any other way,to do same thing with python script that will start and kill windows process for my requirement.
