Hi All,

I am working on automating my experiment runs and hence need to kill all nodes periodically. I am using rosnode kill -a at the moment, but the rosout process keeps re-spawning all the time. I have indicated in my launch file that all the nodes have a respawn="false" argument. Does anybody know which this could be happening?

I issue the rosnode kill -a from a python script which I used to automate my runs as

os.system('rosnode kill --all')

Best,

The rosout node is part of roscore. If you really need to shut it down, you will have to kill roscore too.

Hope this helps.

Already tried that, but the respawn is still persistent.

As I said, `rosout` is part of `roscore`. You can not have the latter without the former. Out of curiosity, how is `rosout` a concern to you?

I had the same problem of a rosout process that keeps respawning. The problem as po1 said is that roscore is running, but finding it takes some effort. 'ps -e' doesn't show it, but if you do 'ps aux' you'll see it (along with a couple of other roscore related processes along for the ride). You need to kill them all
