Hi all:

I wanted to start a sec process as myself and logoff. I figured this
would be a perfect reason to use the detatch option. However detatch
also changes the directory to /, and all relative references to files
on sec's command line are done with respect to /.

I understand the reason is to allow the filesystem where the user
started sec to be unmounted but if you are on a local filesystem it is
unlikely to be unmounted unlike an automounted nfs share.

Might I suggest a -workingdir option to specify the directory that
-detach will change to.

(I was originally thinking of -detach[=working directory] but the way
options parsing is set up the -workingdir is probably easier.)

Risto comments? I could probably generate the patch as well, it should
be simple enough to be within my capability.
 
In any case off to get a command line with nohup and all the fd
redirection operators set up.
