Not quite. That's because QProcess doesn't allow them and I had both no time and sufficient motivation to support shell metacharacters in the parser that I had to write for letting things work. I find that allowing ; and | entails no security risk (as they are not taken from random external sources, but directly from the user) and they are useful for exactly the reason that you are not forced to write a script for cases like this. -- Enrico
