Creating Detached Processes

ruby-talk
1

I need to create a side-by-side process that will stay alive after the Ruby
process that created it dies. I also need to get the PID so I can kill it
later. Background: This command will be executed on a server over ssh, so
the Ruby process will die when the ssh command ends.

Consider as an example:

ssh somebody@someplace.com 'managewebprocess --start'

or

ssh somebody@someplace.com 'managewebprocess --restart'

Is there any library support for this?

Thanks
