Still, you need to know what the other process is asking for, so there
may be a way to tell by monitoring the output of the process. I imagine
that "apt-get upgrade" asks specific questions by writing to stdout and
reading back from stdin, so you might be able to look for these messages
in its output.
Of course, what you look for depends on the language in use - I notice that
your application is running a Norwegian language version of apt-get

so things could get interesting if you're looking for specific English
strings in the output. :-)
Yes, I have already thought about that and it's indeed the language that
is the problem with that approach. So I was thinking that if I could
catch the process waiting for input I could pick up the question (since
I know what it asks for and what form it has. Like: "Do you want to
continue [Y/n]?" Then let an 'OK' button or something feed the upper
case letter to stdin).
Oh... hey, that might just work if I can 'detect' the brackets from the
stdout output..??
I'll play with it and see how it goes.
