It turns out that I'm not even using that anymore. In the situation that there's a problem, you end up waiting for timeout. So: connect(process,QOverload<int, QProcess::ExitStatus>::of(&QProcess::finished), &loop, &QEventLoop::quit); becomes: connect(process, &QProcess::stateChanged,[=, &loop](QProcess::ProcessState state) { qDebug() << "stateCanged" << state; if (state == QProcess::ProcessState::NotRunning) loop.quit(); }); Because the NotRunning will occur always, and immediately, and finished won't. Failed command: stateCanged QProcess::Starting stateCanged QProcess::NotRunning // no finished! Successful command: stateCanged QProcess::Starting stateCanged QProcess::Running stateCanged QProcess::NotRunning finished 0 QProcess::NormalExit _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
