I would encourage you to debug the example (in the method comment) and see what it does. I will be very happy to try to answer questions or make suggestions if I can be of help. I will mention that there is a companion package CommandShell that works with OSProcess to provide better integration of external OS processes with the image, but that is not ported to Cuis (design thinking required!) so it is topic for a separate discussion. I think that OSProcess alone should be good for the kind of processing you want to do.

With Linux CLI tools, 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). Thanks <pre>OSProcess>>command: aCommandString "Run a command in a shell process. Similar to the system(3) call in the standard C library, except that aCommandString runs asynchronously in a child process."
