Waiting for the child process to finis

[rombin]

Hello,

I would like to  know when  application  launched  by my program  has
finished its execution.

I'm using g_app_info_launch from GIO but it only allows me to launch
application without giving any possibility to get a knowledge in a
future when that application has finished.

Does any of the other gnome family libraries allows me to do this? Or I
just need to use fork() and exec() functions?

Regards

Try g_spawn_async(), g_spawn_sync() and friends.

Thx for the reply. It helped me.

I've used /g_spawn_async/ together with /g_child_watch_add/ and
/g_spawn_close_pid/.
