Hi Tobias,

Thanks for your answer and you are right. 
I did implement a Catch but that won't feed me back errors in the
process. So I started by adding a Process1_Error handle and now in IDE
all still runs producing a small difference in output.
It now outputs exactly the same as when I copy/paste the sFull output
printed in console to a terminal window and hit enter (1 extra line
saying: error:nothing to do

When run from executable I now get something returned from the process
error handle.

Seems not yum but sudo is complaining:
'sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo'

tty I understand as terminal. So apparently when run from executable
shell seems to act different somehow. I can't quite wrap my head around
it.

I will have a look at your suggestion on sending the password using read
write or input output.
Could you explain the 'Instead connect sudo's stdin to your Gambas
program directly' a bit more maybe?

Thanks..
