import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class DetachedProcessExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder("path/to/your/executable");

        // Set up any required parameters or environment variables
        // processBuilder.environment().put("KEY", "VALUE");

        // Redirect standard output and error streams
        processBuilder.redirectOutput(new File("/dev/null"));
        processBuilder.redirectError(new File("/dev/null"));

        // Choose a working directory if needed
        // processBuilder.directory(new File("/path/to/directory"));

        Process process = processBuilder.start();
        processBuilder.detach();

        // Print the PID of the detached process if required
        long pid = process.pid();
        System.out.println("Detached process PID: " + pid);

        // The Java process continues execution while the detached process runs independently
    }
}
