How to terminate a process with python in Ubuntu?

Question

I need to close an .exe at the end of my code. I was able to start the .exe file

proc = subprocess.Popen('.nameProgram.exe')

Now I have to close it but the terminate() function doesn't seem to work. I tried this code:

proc.terminate()

I noticed that the exe executable is under another java process. How can I close it. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Does this answer your question? [How to get the pid of the process started by subprocess.run and kill it](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62066599/how-to-get-the-pid-of-the-process-started-by-subprocess-run-and-kill-it) — Prayson W. Daniel, Aug 11 '22 at 14:33
Additionally, you need to wait after `terminate` >> `proc.wait()` — Maurice Meyer, Aug 11 '22 at 14:42
