Hi,

I have made the following change for Gambas 3:

When running a process with SHELL, a process group is created for that shell,
and when the Kill() method is called, the entire process group is killed
instead of just the shell process.

I tried with Bill's shell command, and it works. All the bunch run by
"get_iplayer ... | mplayer ..." is killed as expected.

Regards,
