Python script help. Kill binary on timeout
This is part of my script, as you can see when the alarm is raised it shows some text, what I need it to do is to actually kill the binary "test" (TEST_PATH) when the timeout happens.


Code:
#!/usr/bin/python26

from optparse import OptionParser

import nagios
import re
import subprocess
import commands
import signal
import time

...
...
...

class Alarm(Exception):
    pass

def alarm_handler(signum, frame):
    raise Alarm

signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, alarm_handler)
signal.alarm(120)  # 2 minutes

def check_login(serviceName, rdir, masterAcct, persona, passwd):
    cmd = TEST_PATH + ' -s ' + serviceName + ' -r ' + rdir + \
          ' -m ' + masterAcct + ' -p ' + persona + ' -P ' + passwd

  

 try:
                        status, info, prof = check_login(options.serviceName, options.rdir, options.masterAcct,
 options.persona, options.passwd)
                        signal.alarm(0)
                except Alarm:
                        status = nagios.STATUS_WARN
                        info = 'test timed out!'
                        prof = ''

PYTHON-COVERAGE(1)					      General Commands Manual						PYTHON-COVERAGE(1)

NAME

       python-coverage - measure code coverage of Python program execution

SYNOPSIS

       python-coverage -x module.py [ARG...]
       python-coverage -e
       python-coverage -r [-m]
       python-coverage -a [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       python-coverage	executes  a Python program and measures which of its statements are executed and which are not.  It stores the information
       in the file .coverage in the current working directory.

OPTIONS

       -e     Erase the .coverage file.

       -x     Execute a Python module, giving it the remaining command line arguments.

       -r     Produce a coverage report.

       -m     With -r, show the line numbers that were missed by the execution.

       -a     Annotate source files.  For each source file foo, produce foo,cover, with executed lines prefixed by ">" and non-executed by "!".

       --help Produce a help summary.  It might be more helpful than this manual page.

AUTHOR

       The python-coverage command is a one-line Python script which calls the coverage.py Python module to do all the work.  The module was rigi-
       nally developed by Gareth Rees, and is now developed by Ned Batchelder.	The module's home page is
       http://www.nedbatchelder.com/code/modules/coverage.html.

       This manual page was cobbled together by Lars Wirzenius for Debian, by copy-pasting from the help texts from the module.
