    The "best way" depends on your requirements.
    What you are looking for is a form of IPC (Inter process communication).
    Search google for "IPC methods linux".
    One good link I found is this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...chnique-to-use
    But have a look at google - there are many other good sources about IPC on the internet.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    But I would like to have some notification on my qt application side when C application wants to send some message.
    I want to avoid polling on my Qt application side.

    Please reply if something similar is possible, otherwise I can do this in different thread and when value is really changed I can notify main thread for that notification.

    Thanks,
