running tasks in the background

[Halim, Salman]

hi,

i wanted to extend the 'fork' capability of the java task to other
executables.  i need to start a few processes and continue without waiting
for the first one to finish, but they aren't java processes.  has anybody
done anything similar?

thank you in advance,
