In a shell script, run proga and progb in the background, then wait
for them both with the "wait" builtin. Something like this:
#!/bin/sh -e
# -e flag will abort on any error
proga & # Start proga in background
progb & # Start progb in background
wait # Wait for whichever finishes first
wait # Wait for the other one
progc # Now run progc in the foreground
