QProcess in main() opens multiple instances

[gojkovicde]

Hi,
I want to create an application that will open a terminal. The terminal should be the main window of the application.
I'd use custom classes, and show member values, and function results in the terminal.

The problem is that when I run the application (code below), it keeps opening terminals (one each second) until I close it.
It wouldn't open just one instance of a terminal. I know that app.exec() creates a loop, but I've seen posts all over the Internet
where people do open external programs using QProcess in the same manner.

textdrive.pro

TARGET = textDrive
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES = main.cpp
QT -= gui

TARGET = textDrive
TEMPLATE = app
SOURCES = main.cpp
QT -= gui

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
 
  QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
 
  QProcess *proc = new QProcess(&app);
  proc->start("konsole", QStringList() << "--hide-menubar" << "-e" << "/home/dejan/projects/linux/txtdrive/textDrive");
  qDebug() << "Console application running!"; 
 
  return app.exec();
 
}

#include <QDebug>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{

  QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
  
  QProcess *proc = new QProcess(&app);
  proc->start("konsole", QStringList() << "--hide-menubar" << "-e" << "/home/dejan/projects/linux/txtdrive/textDrive");
  qDebug() << "Console application running!"; 
  
  return app.exec();
  
}

I'm running it on Arch Linux.

Thank you for your help,
