Salome without gui called from python: memory problems

Hello,

I am running salome from a python script using:

os.system('~/salome/appli_V6_4_0/./runAppli -t -u '+casePath+ 'build.py')

Salome builds geometry just fine, but leaves a process in memory called "Salome_Container".  Each are > 100 MB in size. These are created with each call, and after a while they fill up the memory and swap, resulting in the system slowing to a halt.  Does anyone know why these are left after Salome finishes?

I'm running V6.4 in Ubuntu 11.04.

Thanks

Try this

os.system('~/salome/appli_V6_4_0/./runAppli -t -u '+casePath+ 'build.py; killSalome.py')

Thank you, that works fine.  I got it to run with the following:

    os.system('~/salome/appli_V6_4_0/./runAppli -t -u '+casePath+ 'build.py')  # launch salome
    os.system('~/salome/appli_V6_4_0/bin/salome/./killSalome.py')  # kill salome

Thanks!
