在一段时间后终止子流程

Question

I have two binaries which are not terminating without pressing CTRLC-C on terminal. I call these binaries with subprocess call. But I want to terminate them after some amount of time. Here is what I try:

    cmd_1 = [**SOME COMMANDS**]
    cmd_2 = [**SOME COMMANDS**]
    commands = [cmd_1, cmd_2]
    procs = [Popen(i) for i in commands]
    for p in procs:
        time.sleep(60)
        p.kill();

But after 60 seconds, processes are still running. How can I terminate them after some amount of time?

Answer 1

The first process will be killed after 60 seconds, the second will after 120. The time.sleep(60) should be outside the loop

cmd_1 = [**SOME COMMANDS**]
cmd_2 = [**SOME COMMANDS**]
commands = [cmd_1, cmd_2]
procs = [Popen(i) for i in commands]
time.sleep(60)
for p in procs:
    p.kill()

However, it is worth noting that that **SOME COMMANDS** could be causing further issue
