Python: Send Signal to Process via PID File -


a similar question asked here, question specific: don't have pid, pid file. there cleaner way of doing other reading file myself? preferably without module install.

to avoid xy problem, want issue in python: pkill -hup rsyslogd. asking because thought of os.kill(pid_file, signal.sighup), if there different idea doing want, that's more welcome.

the pid file contains pid? should work:

 pid = int(open(pid_file).read())
