detach

detach(command)

Mark a command object so that it will be run in a new process group, allowing it to outlive the julia process, and not have Ctrl-C interrupts passed to it.

Examples

Detach a command in a new process group:
```
julia> detach(`sleep 10`)
Command(`sleep 10`, ProcessExited(0))
```
This example detaches the command sleep 10 in a new process group, allowing it to run independently of the Julia process.
Detach a command with arguments:
```
julia> detach(`echo "Hello, world!"`)
Command(`echo "Hello, world!"`, ProcessExited(0))
```
It detaches the command echo "Hello, world!" with arguments and executes it in a separate process group.
Detach a command and handle the process exit status:
```
julia> result = detach(`ls non-existent-file`)
Command(`ls non-existent-file`, ProcessExited(2))
julia> result.status
2
```
This example detaches the command ls non-existent-file and captures the process exit status in the result variable.

Common mistake example:

julia> detach(`non-existent-command`)
ERROR: could not spawn `non-existent-command`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

In this example, the command provided does not exist, resulting in an error. Make sure to provide a valid command that can be executed in a separate process group using detach.
