Detailed Description

CommandLauncherJob runs a command and watches it while running.

It creates a startup notification and finishes it on success or on error (for the taskbar). It also emits a "program not found" error message if the requested command did not exist.

The job finishes when the command is successfully started; at that point you can query the PID with pid(). Note that no other errors are handled automatically after the command starts running. As far as CommandLauncherJob is concerned, if the command was launched, the result is a success. If you need to query the command for its exit status or error text later, it is recommended to use QProcess instead.

For error handling, either connect to the result() signal, or for a simple messagebox on error, you can do

job->setUiDelegate(new KDialogJobUiDelegate(KJobUiDelegate::AutoHandlingEnabled, this));

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CommandLauncherJob() [1/2]

KIO::CommandLauncherJob::CommandLauncherJob ( const QString & command, QObject * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Creates a CommandLauncherJob.

Parameters

command	the shell command to run The command is given "as is" to the shell, it must already be quoted if necessary. If command is instead a filename, consider using the other constructor, even if no args are present.
parent	the parent QObject

Please consider also calling setDesktopName() for better startup notification.

Definition at line 30 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

CommandLauncherJob() [2/2]

KIO::CommandLauncherJob::CommandLauncherJob ( const QString & executable, const QStringList & args, QObject * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Creates a CommandLauncherJob.

Parameters

executable	the name of the executable
args	the commandline arguments to pass to the executable
parent	the parent QObject

Please consider also calling setDesktopName() for better startup notification.

Definition at line 37 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

~CommandLauncherJob()

KIO::CommandLauncherJob::~CommandLauncherJob ( )

override

Destructor.

Note that jobs auto-delete themselves after emitting result

Definition at line 45 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

command()

QString KIO::CommandLauncherJob::command

(

)

const

Returns the command executed by this job.

Since

5.83

Definition at line 56 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

pid()

qint64 KIO::CommandLauncherJob::pid

(

)

const

Returns

the PID of the command that was started

Available after the job emits result().

Definition at line 148 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

setCommand()

void KIO::CommandLauncherJob::setCommand

(

const QString &

command

)

Sets the command to execute, this will change the command that was set by any of the constructors.

Since

5.83

Definition at line 51 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

setDesktopName()

void KIO::CommandLauncherJob::setDesktopName

(

const QString &

desktopName

)

Set the name of the desktop file (e.g. "org.kde.dolphin", without the ".desktop" filename extension).

This is necessary for startup notification to work.

Definition at line 69 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

setExecutable()

void KIO::CommandLauncherJob::setExecutable

(

const QString &

executable

)

Sets the name of the executable, used in the startup notification (see KStartupInfoData::setBin()).

Parameters

executable

executable name, with or without a path

Alternatively, use setDesktopName().

Definition at line 64 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

setProcessEnvironment()

void KIO::CommandLauncherJob::setProcessEnvironment

(

const QProcessEnvironment &

environment

)

Can be used to pass environment variables to the child process.

Parameters

environment

set of environment variables to pass to the child process

See also

QProcessEnvironment

Since

5.82

Definition at line 89 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

setStartupId()

void KIO::CommandLauncherJob::setStartupId

(

const QByteArray &

startupId

)

Sets the platform-specific startup id of the command launch.

Parameters

startupId

startup id, if any (otherwise ""). For X11, this would be the id for the Startup Notification protocol. For Wayland, this would be the token for the XDG Activation protocol.

Definition at line 74 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

setWorkingDirectory()

void KIO::CommandLauncherJob::setWorkingDirectory

(

const QString &

workingDirectory

)

Sets the working directory from which to run the command.

Parameters

workingDirectory

path of a local directory

Definition at line 79 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

start()

void KIO::CommandLauncherJob::start ( )

overridevirtual

Starts the job.

You must call this, after having called all the necessary setters.

Implements KJob.

Definition at line 94 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.

workingDirectory()

QString KIO::CommandLauncherJob::workingDirectory

(

)

const

Returns the working directory, which was previously set with setWorkingDirectory().

Since

5.83

Definition at line 84 of file commandlauncherjob.cpp.
