</font></p>
<p><font size="4">With OSProcess package, is it possible to execute
a shell command in another host process than the host process in
which the VM is executing?</font></p>
<p><font size="4">With Linux CLI tools, </font><font size="4">I
want to convert PDF document to a collection of JPEG bitmaps ,
and it may be best executed asynchronously and in another OS
process the one used by the VM (to take advantage of the
multicore cpu architecture).<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4">Thanks<br>
</font></p>
