SYNOPSIS

ssid [-v] cmd [ args ]

DESCRIPTION

ssid is an extremly simple setsid replacement. It executes any given command after first assuming the present session identity, and possibly after forking to get a correct process group.

OPTIONS

ssid only prints its version when fed with -v.

NOTES

Like with all forking software, the shell interpreter might misplace a line feed when displaying output from the invoked command. This is a timing artefact.
