First question is, why are you using the bitwise and operator to manage
execution status. This is Python not C. Use clear logic that erflects
what you are trying to do.( Especially if you only post code fragments.)
if os.system('ls -l') != 0 : root.destroy()
Is much more obvious in intent.

Only if os.system returns an error code

I have no idea what other window you are referring to. Is it the
OS console that top runs in? Have you checked the return code
of os.system to see if it returns cleanly (ie a 0) or if it returns an error?
You might find it better to use the subprocess module instead of
os.system. There is more flexibilityy and control available there.
> I checked also the command as background process.. like os.system("top
> &") & root.destroy
And what happened?
We need a bit more context and you need to do a bity more debugging.
Starting with getting rid of the bitwise and "trick" from C. All it does
here is make it hard to understand whats happening.
