# detach-process
Spawn a new process and detach it from the current interactive session.
## Installation
Make sure the installed [gcc](https://gcc.gnu.org/install) compilers work without errors on the current operating system. To install this package as a standalone application with the command-line interface you are to run the following command:
```bash
sudo sh -c "$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vladpunko/detach-process/master/install.sh)"
```
You can also install this system package on your working machine (works for unix-like operating systems) from source code to `/usr/local/bin` as the standard system location for user's programs (this location can be changed at the user's discretion):
```bash
# Step -- 1.
git clone --depth=1 --branch=master https://github.com/vladpunko/detach-process.git
# Step -- 2.
cd ./detach-process/
# Step -- 3.
gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wno-unused-parameter detach.c -o detach
# Step -- 4.
sudo install -m 755 detach /usr/local/bin/detach
```
## Basic usage
Using this program allows you to create a new detached process avoiding complex shell pipelines in the current interactive session. It protects you from the trouble of closing an application which is the parent process of a different program.
```bash
detach ping -c 10 google.com # pgrep ping | xargs ps -p
```
