How can I issue commands like the ones I do from the terminal from a QT GUI program.

You mean accessing the terminal from a Qt program?
go
system("command")
defined in header stdlib.h

you might want to try qthread for creating a thread and
then call the system command coz the system( ) call would
suspend the refresh of the qt program.. ie it would not refresh
the display of qt widget unless the program started by system
ends..

Hi
If you want input and output from konsole.
You CAN use cin and cout.

man QProcess may help also

Here is is best to use
QProcess

another sloppy way is to use the system("") command and direct to output with ">" to a file and than read the file into your program

But I definitely recommend using QProcess

in terminal go
assitant
and than go to QProcess
