I've never understood why the break in convention by naming it spawn.
exec() is what i could be called right?
Also, is there any way to get standard output back to the caller?
So if i spawn say a cvs session or what ever, it would be nice if i can
get that standard output back to display in the UI.
PHP has a nifty thing called passthru which will execute a process and
wait for it to finish and then resume w/ script execution. But i can get
the stdout from the forked process which is real useful.
