NAME

detach - start process detached from terminal

SYNOPSIS

detach [ command args ]

DESCRIPTION

The 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.
