executing terminal command in c/c++ applications

[u04f061]

can anybody tell me how to run terminal commands in C/C++ programs. Does Qt provides any facility to do this? please give me some resources links (tutorials etc) related to it.

man 3 system
You will probably need to have the manpages-dev package installed for that to work. Also read up on the "spawn" series of library functions.

Qt provides full support using QProcess (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qprocess.html). You will probably want to use the startDetached (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/qprocess.html#startDetached) function otherwise spawned command will be killed when your application exits.
