How to kill a bash script running as root from a python script?
#4
This works for me. On linux

#! /usr/bin/env python3
import subprocess
import os

def get_pid(name):
    return subprocess.check_output(['pidof', name])

info = get_pid('bash').split()
pid = int(info[0])
print(pid)

os.kill(pid, True)
I welcome all feedback.
The only dumb question, is one that doesn't get asked.
