When you say it does not work, do you mean the second Maya window does not visually close down, or that you still detect that the pid is alive? Because you are using pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr, you need to make sure you wait on the child:
a.kill() a.wait() After that, the child pid should disappear. Do you actually need the 3 pipes?
