you missed host in your shell.run


shell.run("gps", "host", x, y, z )

There are a couple of way. You can simply launch your program using the monitor program. So from the prompt do

monitor right hello

Or you can hardcode it into your program using something like..


monitor = peripheral.wrap("side")
term.redirect(monitor)
shell.run("gps", "host", x, y, z )
term.restore()

I have not tried it but it should work.
