title: Spawn an independent child
body: <p>How can you use C to spawn an independent child process that goes about its business without thinking about the father?</p>
  
  <p>I want to spawn several processes and shortly after they have been created they go to sleep for about 2 minutes before they do their job.</p>
  
  <p>However, I don't want the father to wait until the child is finished because in the meantime I want to spawn off more processes.</p>
  
  <p>I'm on Linux.</p>
