Re: [TxMt] os forking doesn't work from a TextMate command?

Gerd Knops's double-fork trick is probably what you want (generally referred to as "daemonizing"). The reason for this is when you run a command, TextMate waits for the command to finish, and apparently when you fork it's still waiting for the forked process to finish. But double-forking (and probably closing file descriptors) should solve that issue.

It doesn't wait for the forked process, but it does wait for the process to close stdout/err. If the process forks, the child will inherit stdout/err, and that's the problem (so it should be closed).
