The commit log tells that the process is automatically killed (not waited for) when the Gambas program exits. This is not what I needed. It would be a shorthand for something like this in the startup class: --- Private $hProcess As Process Public Sub Form_Close() Try $hProcess.Kill() End Public Sub btnStartProcess_Click() $hProcess = Shell "..." As "Process" End --- because you don't need to save the Process object anymore to have it killed. You could now do: --- Public Sub btnStartProcess_Click() Dim hProcess As Process hProcess = Shell "..." As "Process" hProcess.Ignore() End ' Use Last in any "Process" events --- Right? What I wanted to do is run a child process and if the Gambas program exits, do nothing about the process and let init adopt it (the child shall continue to run). However, I don't think this is a common enough scenario to have it implemented directly in the Process object. I got by by using Shell "setsid ... &". Whereas automatically killing background child processes seems to be a nice addition. Thanks for your effort anyway.
