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 status of this
           program as the exit status of setsid.

       -V, --version
           Display version information and exit.

       -h, --help
           Display help text and exit.
