Hello everyone,
 
I have a program that uses the setsid() routine or the nohup command on HPUX,
but when I ported the program to the MPE, I discovered those routines would
not work.
 
Currently when the program is run, it needs a dedicated terminal, and I need
to stop that.  I need to start the program in the background, but I am not
sure how to do it.  I have considered starting it via the stream command, but
I wanted to stay in the posix shell (performance would suffer too).
 
I tried starting it with the '&' and ignoring the SIG_HUP signal, but that
didn't work.
 
Any other ideas?  Oh, I am using x.50.50.
 
TIA,
John
