<h1> The s6-setsid program </h1>

<p>
s6-setsid runs a program as session leader.
</p>

<h2> Interface </h2>

<pre>
     s6-setsid [ -I | -i ] <em>prog...</em>
</pre>

<ul>
 <li> s6-setsid creates a new session if it is not a session leader, and becomes
session leader of this new session. </li>
 <li> It then executes into <em>prog...</em>. </li>
</ul>

<h2> Options </h2>

<ul>
 <li> <tt>-i</tt>&nbsp;: strict. If s6-setsid is already a session leader, it will
exit 111 with an error message. </li>
 <li> <tt>-I</tt>&nbsp;: loose. If s6-setsid is already a session leader, it will
print a warning message, but exec into <em>prog</em> nonetheless. This is the
default. </li>
</ul>
