IPython/quarantine/jobctrl.py

""" Preliminary "job control" extensions for IPython 

requires python 2.4 (or separate 'subprocess' module

This provides 2 features, launching background jobs and killing foreground jobs from another IPython instance.

Launching background jobs:

    Usage:

    [ipython]|2> import jobctrl
    [ipython]|3> &ls
             <3> <jobctrl.IpyPopen object at 0x00D87FD0>
    [ipython]|4> _3.go
    -----------> _3.go()
    ChangeLog
    IPython
    MANIFEST.in
    README
    README_Windows.txt

    ...

Killing foreground tasks:

Launch IPython instance, run a blocking command:

    [Q:/ipython]|1> import jobctrl
    [Q:/ipython]|2> cat

Now launch a new IPython prompt and kill the process:

    IPython 0.8.3.svn.r2919   [on Py 2.5]
    [Q:/ipython]|1> import jobctrl
    [Q:/ipython]|2> %tasks
    6020: 'cat ' (Q:\ipython)
    [Q:/ipython]|3> %kill
    SUCCESS: The process with PID 6020 has been terminated.
    [Q:/ipython]|4>

(you don't need to specify PID for %kill if only one task is running)
