exec command
(A) Function
Forking a child process, and making a shell start up.
(B) Format
exec [ <command> ]
(C) Parameter
<command>
This command must consist of one token character string for
the execution of a shell.
If <command> is specified, a shell executes it.
If <command> is not specified, a shell starts up and waits for a command.
SHELL environment variables determine what shell starts up.
(D) Notes
The stdin, stdout and stderr of child processes are set to the stdin,
stdout and stderr of SECONDS, respectively, and cannot be changed with
the listen/speak/claim commands.
Because <command> is executed in a child process, you cannot change
any working directory or environment variable in the SECONDS processes.
To change these directories and variables, use the dir/setenv commands.
