Getting PID for process

[Harlin Seritt]

Let's say I have a simple script on Windows NT. I would like for that
script to find its own PID once it's started and store that as a value
within the script. Also, down the road I'd like to kill that process by
its PID. How is this done?

Thanks,

Harlin Seritt

try:

import os

myPID = os.getpid()

So you can kill it at a later date, it would be worth writing that out
to a file somewhere - C:\temp? I'm sure you can get a kill command for
Win32.

On XP/2003 at least,
os.system('taskkill /pid le <pid>') will do.
