How does one schedule an external job immediately which does nothing more than call a Qt C++ program which throws up a widget and takes input.
Most scheduler jobs are non interactive but I'd like to make this scheduler job interactive. Currently I am calling the Qt/C++ program via a shell script but I never see the main menu pop up.
eg
dbms_scheduler.create_job(
job_name => 'run_external_interactive_program',
job_type => 'executable',
job_action => /home/mydir/runprogram.sh,
etc,
etc);
end;
/
runprogram.sh calls a qt/c++ program but I never see the main pop up menu. do I have a DISPLAY problem? I am on a linux box.
