This program puts a command line in the background without any annoying messages from the shell.

Great for startup scripts too. Usage: fork [ options ] command [ arguments ] -d|--detach command runs detached from the tty -h|--help display this help message -p|--pid display process id of the child -s|--syslog command line is sent to syslog -v|--verbose display command line on stdout -V|--version display version/copyright information
Example syslog output:

Dec 3 23:38:24 splinter fork[28772]: (euid=501) ls -l foo

So go ahead and download it. I dare you. It's GPLed!
