Hi. I have a python script under linux where I poll many hundreds of interfaces with mrtg every 5 minutes. Today I create some threads and use os.system(command) to run the process, but some of them just hang. I would like to terminate the process after 15 seconds if it doesn't finish, but os.system() doesn't have any timeout parameter.
Can anyone help me on what can I use to do this? Thank you -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
