Use QProcess in MythArchive to monitor process (main.cpp)?

[Jonathan Martens <jonathan@…>]

Would it be possible to use the QProcess class in MythArchive? to monitor and manage processes?

This would make it possible I think to get one step further with compiling MythArchive? on windows as it now errors out like this:

That's not really possible because the script is started in the background and just left to run even if MythArchive? or the FE isn't running. I know a few people just run the script manually without using MythArchive? at all.

Isn't there a windows equivalent of kill()?
