NAME
     runsession - run a program in a new session/process group

SYNOPSIS
     runsession [-hV] program [ args ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     runsession  sets  up  a  new session and process group with setsid(2), then
     runs program with any additional args.

     If program does not contain a ``/'' slash character, runsession  will  per-
     form  a shell-like search for the executable using the PATH variable in the
     current environment.

OPTIONS
     -h     Help.  Print a brief usage message to stderr and exit.

     -V     Version.  Print the version number to stderr and exit.

EXIT STATUS
     runsession exits with one of the following values:

     0	    program was invoked and completed successfully.  In this  case,  the
	    exit  code is returned by the program, rather than by runsession it-
	    self.

     100    runsession failed because of a usage error, such as an invalid  com-
	    mand-line  option  or  argument.   In this case, runsession prints a
	    brief error message and usage help to stderr on exit.

     111    runsession failed due to some system or  resource  error.	In  this
	    case,  runsession  prints  a  brief  diagnostic message to stderr on
	    exit.

     1-127  program was invoked and failed with its own non-zero exit status.
