Background option like script/server -d has

[Daniel Waite]

Hi. I'm curious to know how I can type something like the following:

$ ruby my_program.rb

Press enter, and gain immediate control of the terminal again, as
happens when you supply the -d option when running the script/server
command from inside a Rails app.

Any ideas?

The 'daemons' library may help
http://rubyforge.org/projects/daemons/

require 'daemons'
Daemons.run_proc('a string for identifier') do
...your code
end
