Okay, I know, but what is not clear is how tg/cherrypy works, for example if a child process handling a request starts my new process P via Popen and I don't want tg/cherrypy to wait for it to finish in other words the execution of my controller should continue after launching process P, then can I be guaranteed that tg/cherrypy will not decide to kill it's child that started process P and thereby also kill that? This can happen with apache but if you tell me that tg/cherrypy is different that would be cool.
