[Gambas-user] help with EXEC usage

[Jussi Lahtinen]

This seems to work... but it is not very nice code, as it doesn't make
distinction of what instance of "get_iplayer" or "mplayer
you are dealing  with...
Also it leaves some trash (get_iplayer doesn't take care of it's trashes!)
to ~/.get_iplayer.
Maybe get_iplayer should be killed with some other signal.

PUBLIC SUB btnStop_Click()
DIM pid1 AS String
DIM pid2 AS String

    IF hProc.State = Process.Running THEN
      SHELL ("pidof get_iplayer") TO pid1
      SHELL ("pidof mplayer") TO pid2
      DEBUG pid1;; pid2
      SHELL "kill " & pid1 & " " & pid2
      hProc.Kill()
    ENDIF

END
