Launching an app from Processing
Jul 9th, 2008, 3:09pm  
Is there any way to launch another app via Processing, along with providing arguments to that app? I'm currently writing a piece that also outputs a LilyPond music notation file and I'd love to be able to discretely call execute Lilypond so that the user has a PDF of their session automatically waiting for them at the end. Is there any way to do this?

Any help appreciated!
