startup process

mhalf7 (1)
hello masters..

I honestly don't have any idea in accessing or timing the running program in my OS..that's why I'm having a hard time in writing a program that calculate the startup process of another program that I'm about to run after i run my cpp program..please help.

example:
first I run the cpp program which I am needing your help in coding
then, I run a certain program like paint.exe
then, my cpp program used then calculate the time used in starting up paint.exe it is either in seconds or in milliseconds.

so far i have this..

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    clock_t start, end;
    double diff;
    start = clock();
    //here I think i will put the code that access the OS
    end = clock();
    diff = (double(start-end)/CLOCKS_PER_SEC);
    cout << diff;
    return 0;
}


btw, I'm running my program in Linux..
thank you in advance!
