Also, take a look at page 715 in the Camel Book, 3rd edition
(description of the "fork" function).  This contains a nice code
snippet showing how to fork a clean child process and check for
errors.

Anyway, I would use essentially this code snippet, fork off a child
process, and then continue doing what I was doing in the parent.
That's how I've done what you describe in the past.
