executing commands

[sajad]

hello
i want to open gedit text editor and the without closing it the other commands be executed how i can do it?

#include<iostream>
#include<stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
int main(){
  system("gedit /home/sajad/welcome.txt");
  system("totem /home/sajad/001.mp3");
  cout<<"this is the end of my program!"<<endl;
}

Please use <cstdlib> rather than the old, deprecated <stdlib.h>

Put an & sign after each command like this:

#include<iostream>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main(){
  system("gedit /home/sajad/welcome.txt &");
  system("totem /home/sajad/001.mp3 &");
  cout<<"this is the end of my program!"<<endl;
}

That tells the system to put the process in the background so that other commands can run at the same time.
