kill_pid.clj

(async/go (shell/sh "sh" "src/dameon/brochas_area/launch_sphinx.sh"))

(defn get-pocket-sphinx-pids []
  (clojure.string/split
   (get (shell/sh "sh" "src/dameon/brochas_area/get_pid.sh") :out)
   #"\n"))

(defn kill-pocket-sphinx []
  (doall (map #(shell/sh "kill" "-9" %) (get-pocket-sphinx-pids))))

I would rather use (future ...) to run something on a separate thread. async/go is meant to be used with channels so different go blocks can communicate with each other.

But I would still go with Raynes/conch approach as you don't need any additional external shell scripts for piping, getting PID etc. You can just setup the whole command and execute it with timeout.
