dtach_run

#!/bin/sh
#--------
# Convenience script to use with the [[https://github.com/bogner/dtach][dtach tool]].
#
# It will run in a detached session whatever arguments are given,
# assigning automatically a pertinent socket.
#
# If it's called from a symlink starting with "d", it will use
# the name of the symlink as the command to call (for example,
# symlink "dbash" will start a detached bash session).
#
# Also, for non-US keyboard friendliness, it will use Control+Q 
# as default escape shortcut to dettach the session (overriden by 
# DTACH_ESCAPE)
