# ssid(1)

simple setsid

## NAME

ssid - simple setsid

## SYNOPSIS

**ssid** \[**-v**\] *cmd* \[ *args* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**ssid** is an extremely simple setsid replacement. It executes any given command after first assuming the present session identity, and possibly after forking to get a correct process group.

## OPTIONS

**ssid** only prints its version when fed with **-v**.

## NOTES

Like with all forking software, the shell interpreter might misplace a line feed when displaying output from the invoked command. This is a timing artefact.
