I only understood a quarter of that.  But if you want to sleep, why not 
just call  time.sleep ?

import os
while True:
     os.sleep(10)
     ...  do some stuff with the processes.

If you want help in the other portion, you'd better explain:

<<<<<<
Running Python xx.xx in Operating System yy.

 From the bash prompt, I'd like to do:
    zzzzz, and zzzz

And here's what I mean by child processes.  Children of the current bash 
shell?  Or what?
