Description
Executes the specified command in the background; the process can be accessed by its id or the name you gave it.
The output of the process can be redirected to various targets, such as a window, a channel, a nickname or a query.
The process identifier must always begin with the ‘%’ character. For example %0.
If you remove a process with the close parameter, it will only make Irssi detach from it; the process will keep running until it terminates.
