Question

I want to setup my python script to always use a fixed process id. So that every time I want to kill it I don’t have to do a ps aux for it. Please Help.

I am using Ubuntu & CentOS.

Ubuntu is my testing system
CentOS is my server

Why not write a small script for deleting your process:

#!/bin/sh
#Kill my python process called myPython
kill `ps -A | grep myPython | nawk '{ print $1}'`
# Or
kill `ps -U myname | grep myPython | nawk '{ print $1}'`

And then you can just run the script to kill the process…
