python script - restart LinuxCNC with subprocess was created by nhanpham

Hi all,

I want to restart linuxcnc by the python script with subprocess.

I kill the process:
- linuxcnc
- linuxcncsvr
- rtapi_app
- milltask

But this can't turnOFF linuxCNC GUI.

Could someone help me to deal with this problem? I want to start and terminate linuxcnc all by python scripts.
thank you very much

This might help you get started.

import time
import subprocess

def open_program(path_name):

    return subprocess.Popen(path_name)

def close_program(p):
    p.terminate()

p=open_program("notepad")
time.sleep(3)
close_program(p)
