I've attempted to switch out spawnProcess for subprocess.Popen
e.g.
command = "xvfb-run --auto-servernum firefox"
args = shlex.split(command)
#p = subprocess.Popen(args)
#logging.debug("spawned a process: pid: %d", p.pid)
subprocess =
reactor.spawnProcess(TimedProcessProtocol(20), args[0], args)
logging.debug(type(subprocess))
logging.debug("spawned a process: pid: %d", subprocess.pid)
when using subprocess.Popen, xvfb does start up correctly, but then I
have a python issue which is that xfb will start firefox-bin and make
it the parent and exit, thus, making it hard to kill the new process
of which I don't know the pid of.
in any case, I'd like to use spawnProcess, so any help as to why this
isn't working would be helpful.
