Run a program from arduino

Hello hello !
I was wondering if it's possible to run a program from Arduino, by pressing a button for example ?

In fact I want to launch a program in Processing when all the swithes are activated.
My arduino will always be connected to the computer.
I know that in Processing, there is a method call open() for that, is there an equivalent in Arduino ?

Thanks a lot for your help and forgive my english !

Look into GoBetweeno if you are using Windows.

If you are using Windows, look into GoBetwino. It is an application that runs on the PC, all the time, and listens to data from the Arduino, typically to start, or interact with, windows applications.

Thanks for your answer
Unfortunately, I'm on mac OS :frowning:
