Hey Lucena,

Thank you for suggestion, yeah process queues doing the samething, creating new sesssion for each process and executing simulatenously.. requirement is served..

but still i want to tackle the situation with locks, but not able to as throwing the below error.

pexpect.ExceptionPexpect: isalive() encountered condition where "terminated" is 0, but there was no child process. Did someone else call waitpid() on our process?
