Hello, I'm having some sort of 'problem' when using subprocess calls. This is the code snipet that i am using:
capture_server1 = '''xvfb-run --auto-servernum ... ''' server1_download = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(capture_server1),stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) out_s1, err_s1 = server1_download.communicate() time.sleep(2) capture_server2 = '''xvfb-run --auto-servernum .... ''' server2_download = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(capture_server2), stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) out_s2, err_s2 = server2_download.communicate() The problem is the following: - The program runs in a loop, where subprocess is called - It runs for X days, sometimes 3 days, sometimes 5 days - After that i get the following exception: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/subprocess.py", line 1091, in pipe_cloexec r, w = os.pipe() OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files How can i reproduce this on a local machine, and how to make sure that i wont have any errors like this? P.S. Version 2.7 is used with this program
