Wait for multiple processes

[Eubie]

Hello everybody,

I have an application that provides GUI and depending on the user's preferences launches several instances of one computationally-intensive C++ (no Qt) console application. I need to wait for all instances to finish and then collect their results. My question is: how can I wait for e.g. 8 processes to end? I know that I can wait for one by connecting a signal ProcessTerminated to a slot of my app, but how to do it for 8 processes?

Any help is much appreciated.
Daniel

Use QProcess and in the slot connected to the finished() signal of each of those instances, reduce the counter for still active processes. Once it reaches 0, you're done.
