Can you run an independent instance of a program from within Go?

I am looking for a way to launch a completely independent instance of a program from within a Go program. So far this is my best attempt:

  // Some code   

    go exec.Command("konsole", "--hold", "--separate", "sh", "-e", "go", "run", "test.go")
.Run()

    // Continue doing something else then quit

Using linux KDE's Konsole. This command "almost" works - it starts a new Konsole instance and runs the program. But they are dependent: if the first program is ended (ctrl+c), the second also ends. Is there a way to work around this problem?

In order to achieve it you need to replace exec.Command call with os.StartProcess giving extra process attributes os.ProcAttr and syscall.SysProcAttr. Setting flag Setpgid and leaving Pgid with default value of 0 achieves to goal as mentioned by @that_other_guy.

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "os"
        "os/exec"
        "syscall"
)

func main() {
        cmd, err := exec.LookPath("sleep")
        if err != nil {
                panic(err)
        }
        attr := &os.ProcAttr{
                Sys: &syscall.SysProcAttr{
                        Setpgid: true,
                },
        }
        process, err := os.StartProcess(cmd, []string{cmd, "1m"}, attr)
        if err != nil {
                panic(err)
        }
        fmt.Println(process.Pid)
        process.Release()
        for {
        }
        return
}
