Returns

◆ ProcessIsisMessageFromChild()

IException Isis::ProgramLauncher::ProcessIsisMessageFromChild ( QString  code,
QString  msg 
)
staticprivate

This interprets a message sent along the pipe from a child process to us (the parent).

Parameters
codeThe text code of the message - this is used to determine what the message contains.
msgThe data sent along with a code. This is a string, number, PvlGroup, Pvl, etc... really anything. It depends on the code parameter.

◆ RunIsisProgram()

void Isis::ProgramLauncher::RunIsisProgram ( QString  programName,
QString  parameters 
)
static

Executes the Isis program with the given arguments.

This will handle logs, GUI updates, and similar tasks. Please use this even when there is no instance of Isis::Application, so long as the thing you are running has an Isis::Application (do not use this for qview, qnet, qtie, etc for now).

Please do not specify -pid.

Parameters
programNameThe Isis program name to be run (i.e. catlab, cubeatt)
parametersThe arguments to give to the program that is being run

◆ RunSystemCommand()

void Isis::ProgramLauncher::RunSystemCommand ( QString  fullCommand)
static

This runs arbitrary system commands.

You can run programs like "qview" with this, or commands like "ls | grep *.cpp > out.txt". Please do not use this for Isis programs not in qisis.

Example: qview should use RunIsisProgram to run camstats. camstats should use RunSystemCommand to run qview.

Parameters
fullCommandA string containing the command formatted like what you would type in a terminal
