You can run commands simultaneously by putting them in the background: add an ampersand after the command.

Code:
emacs &   ## start a text editor
firefox & ## start the web browser
alpine    ## Start e-mail client in the foreground

hi

I think you can resolve the issue by involving fork() processes as they might run diff. set of processes in background.

Thanks
