I can't figure out how to run a shell command entirely independently of my ruby process (so the ruby process can end and the shell process can carry on). It seems like this should give me a single active ruby process at a time, but no:
sleep 3 `nohup ruby ~/test_process.rb &` This just builds up an endless list of ruby processes, presumably because each process is waiting for its child to finish. How do I exit without waiting?
