OK... I didn't know that - thought it was only via the shell.
Of course, this won't work on all distributions.

BTW, if you run under Mono on windows, you'll end up running 
the second process under .NET, so if that's a problem for you,
you'll want to take it into account.

That's the end of my info... maybe somebody else can help.
