This question appeared a bit unclear when I first read it, but it seems like more of a general Python / Linux question rather than anything specific to EE or the Pi in particular. This Stack Overflow question looks close to what you want: stackoverflow.com/questions/17856928/… – PeterJ Jun 16 at 14:40

Nothing to do with electronic design. Question should be closed. – Leon Heller Jun 16 at 14:41
    
What you're asking about is way off topic for this site. Why do you need a second program to shut down the first? I highly recommend this book on Linux systems programming: amazon.com/Linux-Programming-Interface-System-Handbook/dp/… – Jacobm001 Jun 16 at 16:58
    
The Raspberry Pi is irrelevant to the question. – joan Jun 16 at 19:22
