I believe that the original poster is referring to the setsid(1) command available in at least some Linux distributions; it's distributed as part of the util-linux-ng package and it basically does a fork(), setsid() and execve() to run a user-specified command as a session group leader in the style of daemon(8) (but without detaching or daemonizing :) I think it might not be too hard to implement it under FreeBSD.
