If you just want to run your program, use the system() function
(attention: this function will not return while the program it called is
running).
If you need to "communicate" with your program, or don't want your
program to be "blocked", then use pipe() (if you want to communicate
with your program), fork() and the exec()-family.

In case your app is a gnome app, it's a lot easier: use the
gnome_execute-family
(http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/libgnome/gnome-gnome-exec.html)

Hope I have helped,
Jörgen
