ssid(1)

ssid1

Simple setsid

Usage

ssid [-v] cmd [args]

Overview

ssid is an extremely simple setsid replacement. It executes any given command after first assuming the present session identity, and possibly after forking to get a correct process group.

Options

ssid only prints its version when fed with -v.

Notes

Like with all forking software, the shell interpreter might misplace a line feed when displaying output from the invoked command. This is a timing artefact.
