when I try to call system("pidof <process-name>") in my GUI (which is made from QT3)
the corresponding pid is getting displayed in terminal only.I am unable to get it in GUI. Can anyone help me?

Use QProcess (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/3.3/qprocess.html)to run this command, you can get it's output by connecting to one of readyRead* signals and calling one of read* methods.
