Ctrl+Alt+Delete -> Task Manager…? :-)

Or perhaps run it via System.Diagnostics.Process.Start which will return you the instance of System.Diagnostics.Process. In parent process, use System.Threading.Thread.Sleep for required amount of time and them call Process.Kill using this instance. :-)

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.aspx[^].

Now, your problem is that you don't explain your ultimate goal. I'm almost sure you never need to "execute the C++ program for a specific period of time". Could you explain why?

Solution 2

In case you want to run an executable at a specific time, you can use Windows Scheduler[^]. You can schedule to run batch file to scripts to executables using this mighty application which comes along with Windows.

Or you can use AT[^] command to schedule a task from command line.
