如何使用fork（）和execlp（）在不同的终端上运行命令

Question

I had written a program using NCURSES in which i am displaying a menu on one terminal and want to use fork() and execlp() in the same program but whatever command i am running using fork() and execlp() had to be executed on a different terminal or in the back ground.How that can be done.I am simply using

if(fork())
wait(0);
else
execlp("ls","ls",(char *)NULL);

within a conditional statement which is displaying a message on the main terminal and will be executing the command inside execlp in the background

You probably need to start a new terminal, and hand it the command to run.

If you look at the command line parameters of eg gnome-terminal you can figure out how to format the command line.
