StopCrawler is not working #20

Closed soniacq closed 7 years ago

The crawler is not stopping. It apparently continues to run after calling stopCrawler function.

Fixed the issue with ache crawler not stopping. The problem was caused as the terminate was shutting down only the shell (since shell was set to True) since the pid returned is that of the shell and not the crawler process. Setting shell=False in Popen solved the issue.
