Launches external program for creating PBO files. Does not compress files by default. Alternatively you can pass -Z <extension1,...> <dirname> to compress everything except for the files with given extensions (results in a smaller file). Archives are created in the fwatch\tmp\ directory. When the program is finished, its result number (0 - success, 1 - failure) is written to the fwatch\tmp\<num>.pid where <num> is process id.

Pass check with process ID to see if the program is still running. Use close with process ID to terminate the program.
