starting child pid

[zippo <zippo752001@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am writeing a toolbar program, so when you click the icon it starts a program. I got it working somewhat but was wondering the best way to start the program. I am useing something to the  following

pid_t pid;

  char *my_args[0];
         my_args[0] = NULL;

pid = fork();

if (pid == 0)
{
        execvp("Path/to/prog", my_args);
}


is that proper? or is there a better way todo it? or am i going about it all wrong, any help would be great. Jason
