Python quit and restart an app

I am trying to write a script to quit and then restart and app. Do not see any examples of this. I think this may start an app but do not see one to stop and app.

import os
os.system("open /Applications/Safari.app")

You could try:

import subprocess
subprocess.call(['osascript', '-e', 'tell application "Safari" to quit'])

It's actually calling an apple script command. I'm not in a position to test but it should work.

Come to think of it, this is probably better...

os.system('pkill -9 "Safari"')

I just tried this and I do not see the application stop and restart? Suggestions?

import os
os.system('pkill -9 "noip autorun"')

import os
os.system("open /Applications/noip autorun.app")

I run a very similar apple script every day to close and relaunch an app. Here's the syntax I use:

do shell script "pkill -9 Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client"

and the relaunch is:

do shell script "open -a 'Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client'"

Mine happens to run on a schedule that I have in Calendar app so I can't speak on how to embed in Indigo.

thx
