it would be interresting to have the possibility to pass optional args to program. also, how about testing for the first (or the last) char to be & to run the program asynchronously ? much better, always run the program asynchronously so that hanging programs (who knowns?) don't block the whole process. to do this, somewhere in main(), add something such as signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN) and delete the while statment in post_prog().
