## PROCESS MANAGEMENT
|
|
|
|
The `subprocess` tool is for managing subprocesses related to the current project. Your project may produce servers and other background processes that should be started, stopped, and managed differently than what `shell_cmd` is designed for.
|
|
|
|
You can create, list, and kill child processes using the `subprocess` tool. You can also read their `stdout` and `stderr` logs, which are being written to disk (and managed) as a convenience. When you stop a process, it's log file is closed and removed.
|
|
|
|
If you want to stop a process _without_ removing the log, you use the `halt` subprocess command (cmd=halt, pid=###). You can then examine the logs. When you are done examining the logs, you use [cmd=kill, pid=###] to remove the process entry and logs.
