.I filename
]
.I command

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B detach.
runs a command in a whole new
process group. Once you have detached a process, you can airmail
your terminal to Brazil. It won't care.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP -v
Natter at you about the command it's running, both on the terminal and in the
log file.
.IP "-f \fIfilename\fR"
By default, detach redirects output to "detach.out". You can
override this with the '-f' option. Really important if you
don't have write access in the current directory.
.IP -a
Append to the logfile instead of overwriting it.
