Run applications as another user without switching
Authored by: dmmorse on May 21, '04 01:20:13PM
If you launch an application using this hint and place an "&" at the end of the command, like this:

/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari &

then the shell will run the application in the background and you can close the shell window without causing the "bubble" application to quit.
