    how to starting a new application from my process?

    Hi!

    I’m implementing a daemon process that will need to programmatically start other applications. I’m planning to use system() from <process.h>. Please let me know if there is a better way to do that.

    Thanks!

    If you are using windows you can use ShellExecute() or createProcess(). I am using ShellExecute() to launch MS Word. It works great.
