ssid1
Simple setsid
Usage
ssid [-v]
cmd
[args]
Overview
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.
