hello,

Im using Qprocess to start and application from GUI.

process->start("mpirun -np 12 -machinefile nodesfile myapp.exe");

is there any way that i can use to stop myapp.exe from the gui ???

i used process.terminate(); but it does not work.

Please anyhelp on how can i stop this application from GUI.

Try kill() instead of terminate().

its still the same,

when ever i run "mpirun -np # -machinefile nodes app"

i see two process:
mpirun -np # -machinefile nodes app
mpiexec.hydra -np # -machinefile nodes app


and when i used terminate or kill .. the first process mpirun is killed/terminated, but mpiexec.hydra. and the application keeps running.

idk what should i do, i have even tried process.start("pkill mpiexec.hydra"); and did not work.

Ask at some mpi forum. Your issue has nothing to do with QProcess.
