.TH detach 1 .SH NAME detach \- start process detached from terminal .SH SYNOPSIS .B detach [ \fIcommand args\fR ] .SH DESCRIPTION The .PN detach command is a grungy little program for executing programs in the background, without use of a control terminal. (In the style of most common daemon processes...) The intent was to create a program one could start via rsh, to initiate xterm sessions, without keeping extra local rsh & remote rshd and shell processes alive. .SH AUTHORS Don Bennett, Howard Chu and Wes Craig. .SH SEE ALSO rsh(1) .SH BUGS Does not return any errors, not even .B command not found.
