NAME

6       setsid - run a program in a new session

SYNOPSIS

9       setsid [options] program [arguments]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       setsid  runs  a  program in a new session. The command calls fork(2) if
13       already a process group leader.  Otherwise, it executes  a  program  in
14       the  current process.  This default behavior is possible to override by
15       the --fork option.
