Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: setsid-0.0-3




Basically it allows to call an application, say `sleep', like this:

setsid sleep 10

`setsid' forks and detaches from the controlling terminal and so
the inferior application will not be attached to the terminal as
well.  Or, to make it short, you can start an application as above
and immediately close the Windows console window while that application
keeps running.



that sounds like nohup a bit...

no need to reply... just thinking out loud
