How to execute a process with QProcess

[Azadshahr]

Hi, I have a program in my project directory which is called PsExec.exe. I wanted to execute this process with the parameter "//machine cmd.exe". I written the following code but it doesn't work:

QString program = "PsExec";
    QString arguments = "\\\\";
    arguments.append(f_targetComputerName);

 QStringList argumentList;

 argumentList << arguments << "cmd.exe";

 QProcess *myProcess = new QProcess(this);
 myProcess->start(program, argumentList);

Hi,

What errors do you get ?
What is the final list of arguments ?

[Azadshahr]

It doesn't execute the PsExec at all. I don't know where is the problem. The final list of arguments is "//Machine cmd.exe" which I wanted to pass to PsExec.exe.

QProcess offers several APIs to get the output of the application you executed, its status, error informations. Did you use them ?

[Azadshahr]

@SGaist No, I didn't use them. I know the process is executing but it doesn't show the console environment of the PsExec. I don't know where is the problem.

Well... Use QProcess's API to get that information.

Hi, maybe you forgot the -accepteula switch? Also, usually when QProcessing tricky stuff startDetached works better, say like this:

QProcess::startDetached("psexec",QStringList({"-accepteula","\\\\" + f_targetComputerName,"cmd.exe"}));
