/**
* @short Enhanced KShellProcess.
*
* The ShellProcess class runs a shell command and interprets the shell exit status
* as far as possible. It blocks execution if shell access is prohibited. It buffers
* data written to the process's stdin.
*
* Before executing any command, ShellProcess checks whether shell commands are
* allowed at all. If not (e.g. if the user is running in kiosk mode), it blocks
* execution.
*
* Derived from KShellProcess, this class additionally tries to interpret the shell
* exit status. Different shells use different exit codes. Currently, if bash or ksh
* report that the command could not be found or could not be executed, the NOT_FOUND
* status is returned.
*
* Writes to the process's stdin are buffered, so that unlike with KShellProcess, there
* is no need to wait for the write to complete before writing again.
