One thing that I feel is missing from the Multishell functionality of Advanced Computers is the ability to terminate programs. What I would like this for is to create a process manager program.

I meant using Lua, I'm sorry that I didn't make that clear. The idea would be that the program keeps track of tab IDs and what programs are attached, so you can either kill a program by ID, or you can kill all instances of one program.

os.queueEvent( "terminate" )

Terminating a specific process is probably not possible without adding some code to multishell.

Multishell prevents certain events (most anything related to user input) from reaching anything other than the currently focused tab. Even if you queued the event and then switched tabs before yielding, it'd likely fail to close the target tab completely (as the event may not close everything, or may be completely ignored by the current process).

I Argree, it would be usefull to have some kind of process library, to talk, start, suspend, continue and stop other programs.

Or just write your own multishell.
