QProcess question

[jaxrpc]

Hi,

I was trying out QProcess to send console commands and get what it returns. I tried to send a valid rsh command with an invalid address to see if QProcess returns me any error msg but it doesn't... not sure what i have done wrong. Below are the code i test with...modified from the qt qprocess example.

#include <QProcess>
#include <iostream>
#include <QtCore>
 
using namespace std;
 
 int main(){
 
 QProcess *gzip = new QProcess(0);
 gzip->start("rsh -l usr 192.168.20.1 rcp /home/usr/0.txt usr2@192.168.20.2:/home/usr2/rsh/");
        if (!gzip->waitForStarted())
            return false;
 
        gzip->closeWriteChannel();
 
        if (!gzip->waitForFinished())
            return false;
 
        QByteArray result = gzip->readAllStandardError();
		cout << QString(result).toStdString() << endl;
 
if(gzip) delete gzip;
}

#include <QProcess>
#include <iostream>
#include <QtCore>

using namespace std;
          
 int main(){
           	
 QProcess *gzip = new QProcess(0);
 gzip->start("rsh -l usr 192.168.20.1 rcp /home/usr/0.txt usr2@192.168.20.2:/home/usr2/rsh/");
        if (!gzip->waitForStarted())
            return false;

        gzip->closeWriteChannel();

        if (!gzip->waitForFinished())
            return false;

        QByteArray result = gzip->readAllStandardError();
		cout << QString(result).toStdString() << endl;

if(gzip) delete gzip;
}

Its upto the program running to set the error appropriately. Have a look at exitCode in QProcess to get this error code.
