title: opening a file in shell scripting
body: <p>I have been making a text adventure in shell-script but, at one point I want it to open up a different script while it is running (so have both of them running). I have researched for about an hour and still haven't found anything.. Can you help? </p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>printf "System: Now gathering power needed 1/3"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then open the script</p>
