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.
