Rosrun in a cpp program

I have a program that publish in a topic that my arduino is subscribed. I am using kinetic in an Ubuntu distribution. Right now to make it work I have to write in two different command prompts the following:

rosrun rosserial_python serial_node.py _port:=/dev/ttyArduino _baud:=500000 //This is to start connexion with the arduino rosrun sigue_lineas camera_sigue_lineas //This is the program that I want to run

Is there a way to avoid writing the rosrun rosserial_python command by adding it to the C++ program? Is it possible to run any rosrun in a C++ program?

If the issue is to write two command prompts, you could use a launch file.

Not sure exactly what you want to do, here are my suggestions:

  1. If you want just start another program from your c++ program you can use system command (Execute the given line as a shell command), or use QProcess from qt framework for advanced options of child process management.
  2. If you want to replace serial communication with c++ code you need to rewrite it using c++ API implementation of serial port. This again depends on your OS, but QSerialPort from qt framework allows you to do this on both linux/windows.
