Hi.
I'm looking for a way to "fire and forget" external program from Guile:
something
similar to spawnOnce call in Haskell.
I've tried to look through http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/guile.html
and ML
archive but only found "system* arg1 arg2 …" which judging from description uses
waitpid. I need some function which does not wait for spawned program to finish
but
returns immediately indicating whether it manage to start given program or not
- the
spawned program might run forever for example.
Where should I look for it? Some library perhaps? Some usage examples?
cheers,
Max.
