How to execute system command in parallel in c++

Question

Normally when I want to run a executable from a c++ code. I just use the code: ``` system("path	o	he\executable param"); ``` Now, I want to run the executable file in parallel. I use 2 threads. The first thread will call: ``` system("path	o	he\executable param1"); ``` The second thread will call: ``` system("path	o	he\executable param2"); ``` However it doesn't run in parallel as I expect. Is there in way to solve this?

Accepted Answer

You can run multiple commands as below:

```
system("path\to\the\executable param1 &");
system("path\to\the\executable param2");
```

This way both will run in parallel, and your program doesn't need to be multi-threaded for this.
