Johnathan, just yesterday I was at github checking exactly the same
thing, spawnvp() is not documented and still on development, but it
seems it just call the underlying std.c.process.spawnvp function,
either way, spawnvp in either P_NOWAIT or P_NOWAITO modes will spawn
child process... so killing the father is the case of calling
system(args[]) but I'll have to test it. Thnx for the ideas.
