Message-ID: <20010116005127.A31629@northernbrewer.com> Mail-Followup-To: Christopher Farley , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Organization: Northern Brewer, St. Paul, MN Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hopefully a simple question: Some processes can be launched from an shell, such as vim (and I presume emacs) so that PID 1 (init) is the parent of the process, and not the shell that launches it. Is there a shell command that will cause init to fork the new process instead of the shell? Is this the technical definition of a daemon? -- Christopher Farley Northern Brewer / 1150 Grand Avenue / St. Paul, MN 55105 www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
