How to open a new terminal and run command in new terminal?

Mac 11.4

My current function opens a new terminal, then in the old terminal runs a C program.

foo() {
        open -a Terminal -n; cd ~/desktop/c; ./target.exe
}

What I want it to do is to open a new terminal and run the C program inside the new terminal.

Is this possible to do with a Zsh function?

Save following script in run-command.zsh :

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

run-command(){
    local tmp=$(mktemp) 
    echo "rm $tmp; cd '$PWD'; $*" > $tmp
    chmod 755 $tmp ; open -a Terminal $tmp
}

run-command "$@"

and run it with

chmod +x ./run-command.zsh
./run-command.zsh top

Once you tested "top" successfully, you can run :

./run-command.zsh "cd ~/desktop/c; ./target.exe"
