Traditionally you would fork() and then exec(). You could also use
the daemons gem if you really want those processes to be durable.

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?
