Solution was to use fpSystem instead of ExecuteProcess on unix, and use
ExecuteProcess on Windows

fpr or FPCRUN project seems to work good so far on linux and windows now.

Bsd/macos I have not tested

trivial indeed...

https://github.com/z505/fpcRun

Project started on github. Tested to work on Windows.

Now I just have to try Unix, as, executeprocess works slightly different
on that system and some absolute path configuration to fpc might be
needed.

So basically FPCRUN.EXE project is now known as fpr.exe... as fpr is
easier to type at the command line for the lazy

No.
That's only needed if you want to run the Pascal file directly:

./project1.pas

fpc has a much slower startup time than instantfpc.
That's why instantfpc is good for running Pascal scripts.

fpcrun.exe is an alternative to "fpc run"

fpcrun.exe is trivial, and I can copy it into my fpc directory.. but
wondered if others needed it.  But I don't want to duplicate what
instantfpc does... so might be better to modify instantfpc.  Still,
fpcrun.exe would be trivial to make so that is still tempting...  as
instantfpc may require adding a parameter like Mattias was saying, whereas
fpcrun.exe would require no parameters.

Does instantfpc make it mandatory that you put this at the top of every
source file:
> #!/usr/local/bin/fpc.d/3.0.0/instantfpc --set-cache=./

fpcrun would not require this as it just compiles normally...

However making fpcrun.exe (trivial) would duplicate what instantfpc
already kind of sort of does, so I do not want fpc to ship two executables
that do the same thing (or similar)...

Interesting idea, to just cache it in the original project directory.

This works

#!/usr/local/bin/fpc.d/3.0.0/instantfpc --set-cache=./

program Test;
..

except that the original file's getting modified to put // in front of 
the shebang which means that a second instantfpc run fails.

That instantfpc has catch22 like you cant compule multiple projects with
the same name, i.e. it caches file name only (caveat) whereas fpcrun would
compile it in current directory, as normal, no special cache dir needed

Also I am thinking about 3 million two thousand and eight other ideas at
the moment
Possibly a.d.h.d meds

No, FPC is a compiler, not a "runner" or debugger. That would even be one
of the few points where patches would *not* be welcome.

As the others said already, use InstantFPC for that.

Indeed, would not be too hard... even a shell script like you say..

If anyone finds this idea useful of seeing your program run, right after a
compile, at the command line, it might be something to add to fpc. It is
similar to how when you press F9 in delphi or compile a program in
turbopascal/fpide it runs the program for you, without multiple
link/compile/run steps like GCC and old C compilers required.

As for instantFPC, that would maybe make pascal programs run on a
webserver just by uploading them.. which is very interesting more
research to be done there as to what has to be installed on the server for
that to work... some kind of fpc compiler will need to be on the server
and in what directories.

If InstantFPC doesn't work for you, you could always compile the FPC
Compiler into your "own" executable that does compilation and then
running the resulting executable.

Alternatively, you could turn to a simple Bash script (if you are on a
Unix/Linux platform) to accomplish the same task.
