Not exactly a bug, perse. An oddity, however. I am writing some code in bash that will execute a python script, and carry on with some user input. Obivously, I called the python command through something like ( python test.py test.txt ) in order for it to be a process. However, this test.py program takes data from the serial port and saves it to a file.
So, when I'm running the shell script that calls on this python script and end it with ctrl-c, it only ends the shell script, and not the python script, which continues putting serial data to a file. Now, if I kill the python script with a killall command that is within the shell script, the output file for the serial ends up being empty. Is there any command that will kill bash script-assosciated processes in a kind way (ie ctrl-c) when the overall script is ended?
