Look at psutil: http://code.google.com/p/psutil/ But you will have a race condition if you do something like this: if ffmpeg is not running: start ffmpeg A file lock is a better solution. Google 'python file lock' for recipes. Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
