Starting a new process usually and notably involves forking and execing (even if the first thing to exec will be your shell).
By 'start' I mean it is done inside Qt QProcess class back box ;-) Anyway I have written an homegrown 'wanna be hacker' launching script: git rev-list --header --boundary --parents --topo-order HEAD > /tmp/qgit_136224752.txt & echo $! wait With this I can get the pid of git-rev-list from my QProcess interface so to be able to kill it when needed with another command ('kill' BTW). I have googled around and it seems that 'echo $!' and 'wait' _should_ be portable among many shell, please correct me if'm wrong or if the approach is failing (I already know it's ugly ;-) ) Marco - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
