[Gambas-user] restarting a gambas application

[Demosthenes Koptsis]

I think you need to fork a process or something like that.

As i know in Gambas the only thing that this happens is when you set 
Application.Deamon property.

http://gambasdoc.org/help/comp/gb/application/daemon?v3

The application forks, and terminates the newly created parent, so that
the real parent of the application does not wait for its termination.

It could be usefull to fork the application without making it a deamon.
Because in a deamon case you cannot do some things.

The standard input, standard output and standard error output are
closed.

But is this what you want?
