spawn function

The spawn (or fire) function will execute an external process and will return the process ID without waiting for the process to complete. The first argument should be a path (or a string) to the executable to run and the others are the arguments. You can add an INTO files at the end of the argument list to point the stdout to another file.

For example:

findit -w 'extension = "bash"' -d '`name` pid: `spawn(path INTO ("/tmp/outputs/" + name + ".txt"))`'

Will run all the bash files and output the output into the /tmp/outputs/ directory and:

findit -w 'extension = "txt"' -d '`name` pid: `spawn(@rm, path)`' /tmp/outputs/

Will delete those files
