startDetached with cmd how to close it automaticlly ??

[mrjj]

Hi
I dont think its possible to close an already open cmd prompt ( keept open with K)
, by runner another cmd.exe.
Why not use /C in all places ?

   QString  DOS( "cmd.exe " );

   foreach(QFileInfo mitm, mDir.entryInfoList(Qfilter))   
   {

       QStringList params = QStringList() << "/C" << "frtomem -p WnaYooAQ " << mitm.fileName() ;
       QProcess::startDetached( DOS,  params );   
   }

I have tried to fix it by /C
But the problem is the same.

@RiceBall Just tried on my Windows 10 machine with "dir" command - works as expected.
You're using QProcess wrongly.
It should be:

QStringList params = QStringList() << "/C" << "frtomem" << "-p" << "WnaYooAQ" << mitm.fileName() ;
QProcess::startDetached( DOS,  params );

So, each parameter must be passed as a dedicated string, not all parameters in one string!

I tried to fix it by your recommend.
But it also can't close by itself.

@RiceBall To me it looks like the command you're calling does not finish and that's why terminal window is not closed.

Could I set timer to close it forcely??

@RiceBall You should first check the documentation of that command. Maybe you just need to provide a parameter to it so it closes when finished.
If you want to abort it forcefully you should not use startDetached.

@RiceBall are you sure, the terminal you're seeing is actually the one started by QProcess ?

I think you're writing a terminal app yourself. And you're calling a.exec(); on your QCoreApplication -> it's not going to close itself

I try to simple it.
I fix it by ping 1.1.1.1 .
But it is also not success.

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);


       QString  DOS( "cmd.exe " );
       QStringList params = QStringList() << "/C" << "ping" << "1.1.1.1" ;
       QProcess::startDetached( DOS,  params ); 
       return a.exec();
}

If I can not use startDetached.
Do you have any recommend I can use ??

@RiceBall Is your app of type "console" (CONFIG += console in pro file)? If so then the terminal window you see is the one of your app and will be closed when you close your app. So, I don't see what the problem is in this case? @J-Hilk already pointed out this.
My widgets app does not show any terminal when I execute command like you do - because it is not a console app.

Sorry, Maybe I don't explain it very clear.
Actually,I make it by console.It is right.
I want to show some information for user.
When finished , I want to close APP or terminal window automatically.

@RiceBall Yes, you did not explain well. Don't use startDetached (use the "normal" start()). Use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qprocess.html#finished signal and in the slot call https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcoreapplication.html#exit.
