[Gambas-user] need NOWAIT option for Process=Exec Command

[Lewis Balentine]

Well I am almost there and ran into a small hick-up. I am trying to 
create a program to schedule and record over the air (OTA) television 
broadcasts via ffmpeg and an IP based NTSC-Tunner (SiliconDust 
HDHR4-2US).  If I use the GAMBAS statement:
    Exec Command
then the ffmpeg command is executed and the recording takes place in the 
background as desired.


My problem is that I need to get the Process ID for each recording 
session in order to be able to abort/cancel recording session(s). If I 
use the GAMBAS statement:
    Process = Exec Command
then the program hangs up while it "waits" for the Command to complete 
(which might be a couple of hours).

Now I am hung up. Is there another way to get the process id?

cheers,
