I played a bit with QProcess on Linux:
>>> from PyQt4.QtCore import *
>>> QProcess.execute('john pwdump.pw')
[...]
(called `killall john` in other window)
Session aborted
1
>>> QProcess.execute('john pwdump.pw')
[...]
(called `killall -9 john` in other window)
-1
If I kill john without chances to save session then I get "crash
code". Otherwise I get regular code and "Session aborted" message
from john. I think "Session aborted" is printed only when john handles
exit well. Johnny captures output (right?) so it should be easy to
check if john prints the message.
Does jumbo print "Session aborted" when you get CrashExit?
Thanks!
