SETSID(1)                        User Commands                       SETSID(1)
NAME
       setsid - run a program in a new session
SYNOPSIS
       setsid [options] program [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
       setsid  runs  a  program in a new session. The command calls fork(2) if
       already a process group leader.  Otherwise, it executes  a  program  in
       the  current process.  This default behavior is possible to override by
       the --fork option.
OPTIONS
       -c, --ctty
              Set the controlling terminal to the current one.
       -f, --fork
              Always create a new process.
       -w, --wait
              Wait for the execution of the program to  end,  and  return  the
              exit value of this program as the return value of setsid.
       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.
       -h, --help
              Display help text and exit.
