NAME

6       setsid - run a program in a new session
7

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 the
14       current process. This default behavior is possible to override by the
15       --fork option.

23
24       -w, --wait

26           status of this program as the exit status of setsid.
