Hello! I want to start roscore and several ros nodes from a other program with a bash script:

#!/bin/bash
source /opt/ros/indigo/setup.bash
source /catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
roscore

when I call the script manually everything works, but when i call it from the other program (with system(start_ros.sh)) nothing happens. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
