You need to use a timer that expires every 10 minutes and launches the executable say by calling spawn or exec depending on your platforms. Timers are a platform and API specific issue so you need to use your system's timers.

the task manager can be used to arrange this on windows or something called cron??? on unix based systems, if you prefer to let the os do the work.

Thanks a lot guys...I looked up cron on the man pages and I think it might solve the problem.

Thanks a lot once again
