NAME
       rundetach - run a program in the background

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

DESCRIPTION
       rundetach  forks  a  child process into the background, detached from a
       controlling terminal, in its own session and process  group.   It  then
       runs program with any additional arguments given in args.

       If  program  does  not  contain a ``/'' slash character, rundetach will
       perform 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
       rundetach 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  runde-
              tach itself.

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

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

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