try with sudo command. this will execute the command at super user terminal and comes back to user terminal.. u need to add users in sudoers file /etc/sudoers, meanwhile u can also try by putting the the job background. using '&' at the end of each command.

And also you need to get the exit status from command. So that you can show proper message for what happened in login
