It would be good to add this in the awesome documentation. Stef

Without having a deeper look I guess what was done for Windows now is wrapping the usual STARTUPINFO, CreateProcess() functions and friends yet again ...
Such wrappers and many other native friends were created from my side already years ago with my "OS-XXX" series of projects for different platforms:
- http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/OS-Windows - http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/OS-OSX - http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/OS-Unix - http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/OS-Linux-CentOS - http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/OS-Linux-Ubuntu - http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~OS/OS-Raspbian
So for instance on Windows you could easily use
WinProcess createProcess: 'explorer.exe'
or
WinProcess createAndWaitForProcess: 'cmd.exe'.
The projects are available on Github now since 2018 and kept up to date for recent Pharo versions.

All of them are available in Catalog.
I have no problem with more and more implementations and the double efforts. But for Pharo users I have the feeling that it gets more and more confusing in the area of OSProcess, OSSubProcess, OSWinSubprocess, .... and more wrappers for basically the same thing ...
