[Gambas-user] process.id

[Matthias Laur]

Hello,

I want to store a mpg file from s-video-in for 10 sec with the following
command

 

Shell "cat /dev/video0 > myfile.mpg" AS myprocess

Wait (10)

myprocess.kill

 

But after then the process was still alive.

 

Then I try:

 

Shell "kill " & myprocess.id

 

With no access. The process was still alive.

 

Then I saw that the number that myprocess.id returns was 1 lower then the
number that the command "fuser /dev/video0" in the bash returns.

 

So at last I try:

 

Shell "kill " & cstr(myprocess.id +1)

 

And it works. Can you tell me why?

I'm using Gambas 1.0.6
