How to communicate between two different exe

Hi,
I'd like to know your opinion on how to communicate between two different exe, at the moment I'm investigating on the Solution QtSharedMemory, but maybe there are some other ways.
Both the executable are developed by me using qt.
Thanks in advance

You could use sockets or pipes as well.

I know about QTcpSocket, but does Qt have support for pipes? I'd prefer a cross-platform solution.

tcp sockets then. the assistant works this way (there is an example or two in qt about this subject).

If both applications run on the same machine I'd recommend the shared memory solution. Alternately you could also use files, or the already mentioned sockets and pipes.
