Wait until the process is completed

You probably should ask that question on StackOverflow or some other QA site as it's not a Sikuli specific question.

the docs for Jython subprocess.Popen
http://www.jython.org/docs/library/subprocess.html

there is Popen.poll() that can be used to check, wether the subprocess has terminated or not.
Furthermore it does not look like you want to use the output to STDOUT of the called program, so you should not specify the stdout parameter.

BTW: I would never name a variable the same as a used module or class.

while True:
  # ... some code
  if typei == '1':
    url = '/getsome' + rid
    args = ('C:\file.exe', '--silent' + url)
    myApp = subprocess.Popen(args)
    hasTerminated = False
    shouldStop = time.time() + 180
    while not hasTerminated:
      ret = myApp.poll()
      if ret:
        hasTerminated = True
        break
      if time.time() > shouldStop:
        myApp.terminate()
        break
  if not hasTerminated:
    continue

# code in case it terminated within 180 secs

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.

there is an error:

[error] AttributeError ( 'Popen' object has no attribute 'terminate' )

on myApp.terminate()

If you are working with the latest build of SikuliX 1.1.0, it should be there.

… if not (using Jython < 2.7) you have to get the pid using Popen.pid and issue a kill command.

In latest version of Sikuli unfortunately does not work properly module "Urlib"

[error] java.lang.IllegalStateException ( java.lang.IllegalStateException: failed to create a child event loop )
[error] --- Traceback --- error source first line: module ( function ) statement 26: urllib ( <module> )

So I'm using version 1.0.1.
Please give an example, how I can using Popen.pid and issue a kill command? :-) if not more difficult.

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.
