In Unix I can start a 'deamon' (background) process like:
ruby -e 'fork do system("something") end'
Or by putting the fork directly into my script:
fork do
#...do stuff...
end
That way if I log out of a shell session, for example, my process is still
running in the background.
But fork doesn't work under Windows (without cygwin) - is there a way to
do something similar under Windows?
