Sebi, I'm afraid I need to go a little further than just testing for their presence, I want to extract some information out of those commands that are present.
The added source code (see previous mail) is part of the code of a bigger library/component I'm building to extract all kind of information from a system (like window manager, desktop, memory and so on). Need this for my distributed applications to determine what they are running on for trouble shooting the applications. Making it into a library/component so other Gambas developers can benefit from it as well. And that all worked fine in both Gambas 2 and Gambas 3.0 (as I am writing it for both Gambas version). Problems started with Gambas 3.1, but according to Benoit the 3.0 implementation was the buggy one (so I guess the Gambas 2 implementation is buggy as well) So I have recoded it to now work with Gambas 3.1 using TRY and it does. But now another problem occurs. Seems that some sub process doesn't kill. Thanks anyway On vr, 2012-04-13 at 16:21 +0000, Sebi wrote: > Hi!
