Use system to start a server then execute commands on it

Hi,
I have a script set up that allows me to execute a seperate process
(start a perfoce server) and then call against it.
e.g.
system( "cmd to start perforce server &" );
... sometime later within the same script ...
`some cmd on perforce server`;
The problem is `some cmd` reacts as if the original system call had not
been made (i.e. as if perforce is not running). If I run a seperate
terminal and sleep between the calls I can see that the perforce server
has been properly started and I can call commands on the server;
however once the sleep expires `some cmd` still fails. `some cmd`
works as expected if the perforce server has been started externally to
the script (as in subsequent runs)
I have searched docs, tried fork (which didn't do what I wanted) and
I'm a bit stuck.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
James.
