Have a look at KProcess. The documentation contains an example on how to use this class. (Not sure if there were changes to KProcess in KDE 3). http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/2.2-api/classref/kdecore/KProcess.html I remember having some problems when using KProcess the first time. I think you have to pass in the application name at once (only one << operator) and each command line argument via an additional << operator. Hope this helps.
