Running programs under a python program...

[inhahe]

maybe you could instead of killing the program  stop the loop that starts 
new processes and start one that runs until the last process ends?

also, if you killed the program but stdout was still set to fd and stderr 
was still set to subprocesses.STDOUT, what would happen when those two 
objects disappeared?  wouldn't the processes crash or something?

i dunno much about this though, maybe there's some way
