Answer 1

You can use python subprocess.Popen or os.system. Example: subprocess.Popen(["sudo", "service", "redis", "start"]) subprocess.Popen(["sudo", "service", "redis", "status"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE) You can read the stdout and check if the process is stopped and also see the exist status. Alternatively you can use psutil to monitor processes.
