Thread: dos prompt disappearing

I want to make a program similar to the dos prompt (i dont know the english name for it) in wich you can issue commands to your system (like 'netsat -n' or 'ping 127.0.0.1'). It works, but it should return to the main() function as soon as the command was executed. Instead, it closes. The code i have so far is:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>

char command[99999];

int main()
{
    cout << "Command>";
    cin.getline(command, 99999, '\n');
    system(command);
    int main();
    return 0;
}

could anyone pease tell me what`s wrong with the code?
