How Can I Run a Script That Won't Terminate With Qt App?

[closx]

Hello everyone,

I am basically trying to run a script that will change my running application with another version.

In OS, my app runs as a service called "myapp". My basic script,

/update.sh

#!/bin/sh

sudo service myapp stop   #killing my application
sleep(3)   #waiting for the finish
rm my_app   #removing old executable
cp update/my_app .   #copying new app to the main dir
sudo service myapp start    #starting it again

In Qt, I am calling the script to run, like that,
QProcess::execute("./update/update.sh");

But as it reaches the 3rd line of the script (sudo service myapp stop),
the script terminates with the application, and nothing is being updated.

How can I run it so it won't terminate?
Maybe running in a new shell? But how?
