我有一个我正试图在chroot中运行的进程。所说的chroot是通过我没写的python脚本输入的（它是Chromium的cros_sdk脚本，如果这对任何人有帮助的话）。这是我的代码：
def start_devserver(image_folder):
"""
Start a devserver, serving the image in image_folder
"""
# path manipulation stuff goes here
devserver_command = [sdk_path, "--", devserver_exe, "--pregenerate_update",
"--image={}".format(image_path)]
server_process = subprocess.Popen(devserver_command,
stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
cwd=os.path.expanduser("~/chromiumos"))
return server_process
def standup_devserver(image_folder):
"""
Start the devserver and monitor its output until the update has
been generated and the local server is ready to accept connections
"""
devserver_process = start_devserver(image_folder)
devserver_update_pat = re.compile(r'cache/[a-z0-9]+/update.gz')
devserver_update = None
devserver_started = False
print "monitoring devserver progress"
while not devserver_started:
output = devserver_process.stdout.readline()
if output:
print output
if output is None:
break
if devserver_update is None:
match = re.search(devserver_update_pat, output)
if match is not None:
devserver_update = os.path.join("/var", "lib",
"devserver",
"static",
match.group())
LOG.info("update generated and stored in %s",
devserver_update)
else:
if "ENGINE Bus STARTED" in output:
print "devserver started"
devserver_started = True
else:
return devserver_update, devserver_process
def main(image_folder):
"""
Main entry point--stand up the devserver and collect the necessary files.
Returns the path of the temp directory containing the files
"""
update, process = standup_devserver(image_folder)
print "tmp_dir: {}".format(update)
tmp_dir = collect_files(update)
process.terminate()
return tmp_dir
发生了两件非常奇怪的事情：
1）当我执行server_process.terminate()时，它正在分叉多个未被杀死的进程：
5708 pts/8 T 0:00 python
5712 pts/8 T 0:00 /usr/bin/python2 /.../chromiumos/chromite/bin/cros_sdk -- /.../trunk/chroot/usr/lib/devserver/devserver.py --pregenerate_update --image=/.../trunk/src/build/images/.../chromiumos_base_image.bin

8322 pts/8 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto python
（省略号替换了我的部分路径，我宁愿不公开，但请放心，它们在每个过程中都是一样的。）
2）当server_process返回解释器时，解释器得到后台处理。我的main函数调用一个函数来调用一个函数，该函数调用启动的函数＆amp;返回进程，但在main完成之前我不会被抛弃到bash中：

如果对subprocess比我更深入了解的人能够提供一些清晰度，那么我们将非常感激。
