23 * @class CommandLauncherJob commandlauncherjob.h <KIO/CommandLauncherJob>
24 *
25 * @brief CommandLauncherJob runs a command and watches it while running.
26 *
27 * It creates a startup notification and finishes it on success or on error (for the taskbar).
28 * It also emits a "program not found" error message if the requested command did not exist.
29 *
30 * The job finishes when the command is successfully started; at that point you can
31 * query the PID with pid(). Note that no other errors are handled automatically after the
32 * command starts running. As far as CommandLauncherJob is concerned, if the command was
33 * launched, the result is a success. If you need to query the command for its exit status
34 * or error text later, it is recommended to use QProcess instead.
35 *
36 * For error handling, either connect to the result() signal, or for a simple messagebox on error,
37 * you can do
38 * @code
39 * job->setUiDelegate(new KDialogJobUiDelegate(KJobUiDelegate::AutoHandlingEnabled, this));
40 * @endcode
41 *
42 * @since 5.69
