Trying to use QProcess

[spirit]

also, you forgot to specify type for function

void mainwindow::process_started()
{
    process->start("./home/i386-qt-rss");
}

void mainwindow::process_started()
{
    process->start("./home/i386-qt-rss");
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

You know something, I am sitting here looking at some example code and I don't know how I missed that, once you pointed it out I gave my forehead a bloody hard slap.

Thanks very much.

Just to add, this has now compiled, however I thought the app the process is linked to would have started and opened up. I can see that there hass been a thread created when I click the pushbutton but nothing appears on screen. Is this normal?

if you need call program in a new process use QProcess::startDetached. in this case you will see a separate window.

So I take it once startDetached is called then the first application is not aware of the second, ie when the launched app has finished and has been cloased?

it depends on how it works.
if you need to know when this app will stopped then you should use QProcess::start and handle signals QProcess::started & QProcess::finished.
