Its very easy I wonder Y u even ask
this is the code that will do the trick

---------------------------------
#include<stdio.h>		
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    if (fork() == 0)
        execl( argv[1],0);  // argv[1] can be a elf or 
							// a shell script won't 
							// matter just need to be 
							// chmoded to +x .
    	wait((int *)0);
    	printf("/n done");
}
