You could do a fork and exec to call setmon before you start opening
performer windows.

Take a look at the exec(2) and fork(2) manpages on their syntax, but the
general idea is that you fork a child process which then execs setmon. I
would also wait for setmon to finish it's work before continuing
execution by calling the wait(2) function. Pass in 0 for the statptr
parameter to wait(...);
