The actual example is, i want to run an application that consists of 
serveral parts:

- a webrick server
- a background updater

Prerequisites are:

- windows (so no daemonize)
- no admin rights (so a service under windows is not possible)

No what is really the best option to spawn those two parts as different 
processes/threads and do not loose control over them. It must be 
possible to quite or restart those processes if needed from the main 
script.

thx ck
