I've been searching for ways to terminate this process so I can exit my
program. program.exe is a text based interface which I'm running with
python subprocess in a DOS command window. I tried using 'sys.exit()'
to end my program, but nothing works. I think I have to somehow
terminate the subprocesses I create. Any suggestions?
