This is beyond the scope of C++. Have a look at some of the functions
at the end of http://www.comeaucomputing.com/techtalk/#system
as but some possibilities.

'system' behaviour is not specified by the Standard. Ask in a newsgroup
for your compiler. You are most likely in need of a platform-specific
way of starting a process.
