[Qt-interest] Qt4 & fork()

[Miguel Cardenas]

Hi again

I've just found that QProcess does not start a new independent process, it
blocks the main Qt application and returns/aborts immediatly if don't set a
wait condition that I don't need just want to launch a command line
application and let it run without taking future care of it, so, should I
use QProcess + QThread? I think it should be easier to fork() and exec(),
three of four lines of code should solve my problem since don't require
communication with the new process, just to launch it... but my doubt
remains, would fork() affect the Qt application or may get unstable?

Thanks
