What is the easiest way to go about this. I have tried several
things but can't seem to
get the process disconnected from the terminal.
System.Posix.Process.createSession makes the current process a
separate session with no controlling terminal assigned to it.
(Acquiring a controlling terminal afterward is, sadly, nonportable:
some systems do it automatically unless you open() with O_NOCTTY, some
require you to open and ioctl(TIOCSCTTY).)
