B4J Code Snippet Start an external process [solved]

I would like to be able to start an external process.
I found this:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/jshell-library.34661/#content
but it does kill the external process after a delay. I would like the external process to be decoupled from the B4J app, the way the Shell command works under VB 6.0.
Thanks in advance...
