What do you mean by soon? I am not receiving any more calls to my slot connected to the readyReadStandardOutput signal. The process that is running outputs a bunch of startup text and then goes into an infinite loop waiting to receive commands. I have waited a while (minutes) after the process was started and I do not receive any more signals that the standard output is ready to be read.

Thanks,
