I found this site the other day, its a list of like *every* shell
command on Windows NT/XP, Linux BASH, OS X, and Oracle 8i. At least
the useful ones, very handy, especially on Windows.

You may be looking for this:
    http://www.ss64.com/bash/exec.html

as in:
    system( "exec command", 2 )

which should return immediately. :)

HTH,
