Well you can write a python script that calls the kill command, using the os import.<br />
But, before you even try, can you describe your scenario a little more, so we can help you with the most appropriate design for it?

HI,<br />
<br />
I am running Python on Ubuntu. I have been running a python script in a console session however I have now created it as a scheduled cron job.<br />
<br />
I also want another job scheduled to kill the script however when I use<br />
killl - 9 python3 script.py<br />
<br />
I don't get the usual messages logged through Python telling me that the processes have exited<br />
<br />
When running in a console session, I would normally kill the script using Ctrl-C. Is there a way in which to do this?

Kill Python script using Cronjob (semi gracefully)

Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in other languages. Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming or procedural styles. It features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and has a large and comprehensive set of standard libraries, including NumPy, SciPy, Django, PyQuery, and PyLibrary.
