get window handle of system()?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question; I am attempting to get the window handle of a program that's executed using the system() command, i.e. something like:

Code:

---


int pid = fork();
if (fork == 0) {
    system("program name")
} else {
    ...
}

---

Is this possible? would it be possible to do so if I used one of the exec() functions instead?

Thanks! (using Kubuntu 12 btw)



EDIT: ehh..I think it might be better to ask this on linuxforums, now that I think about it...

For anyone else who has/had this problem, you can't do it with system(), because in system(3): execute shell command - Linux man page, the program is run in the shell, which (I think) makes it impossible to get the window handle, or ID
