how to link a program from different shell in tcl

I was trying to build a GUI for an open source software using TCL/TK. This open source works in a different shell.

so, How do I open it (vagrant ssh) from TCL? for example "~/openthread/etc/vagrant/vagrant up" this is the path for the shell which will open up the vagrant. how do I set it into a button, for example, whenever a user presses the button, the above directory is run which brings up the vagrant shell? can I do that in TCL/TK?

TIA for the help and suggestions.

    1. You can run terminal, execute command there and leave it open. ( source: https://superuser.com/a/876959)

      cmd /K "path-to-vagrant ssh"

    2. So, you should use exec Running other programs from Tcl - exec, open to run cmd
