Firing up a process and not wait()ing on it..

[J. Eric Townsend]

Maybe there's an obvious answer to this that I didn't hit while
RTFM'ing.  While in process foo, I want to crank up process bar
and have it run independently of foo.  system("bar &") doesn't do
the trick, as a wait() is still called for the parent shell of bar (it
seems that's what happening, at least).

Any suggestions?  No flames, please, this is my first foray into doing
sockets/networking/daemon code...
