◆ 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
