You should define a process object (see in doc gb.process), you will find in 
the example basic/console how to implement it.
( ex : EXEC [ "ls" ] FOR READ AS myProcess )

Use the Id property of the process object ( ex : print myProcess.Id )
Use the kill property to kill the process ( ex : myProcess.kill )

As process inherit from Stream, you can grab the output (in docs too) and you 
should split the line with Split keyword.
