This should be an indispensable reference for you. You ought to be able to dig up code for most if not all of them (at least the *nix ones).

In general you have do some thing of this sort

while(1)
{
      //Accept a new command from the user
     // Fork a new process
    // The child process handles the new command, finishes it and   returns the status to the parent

}
