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!
