Subject: question about the system method

Hi, all

     I want to use system method to run a background process, like

     system("ruby deamon.rb") # the deamon.rb runs a dead loop

     When my main process ends, I want to end the background process
too.

     How can I do it?

     If I can get the pid of background process, I can use
Process.kill. But the system method dosen't return the pid.

     Does anyone here know the solution?

     Thank you
