BACKGROUND_TASK
# To spawn a task, command, or script in the
# background. Specify one of the following start
# options for spawning ( AT_START/AFTER_STABILITY ).
# Use the full pathname of the file and enclose the command
# string in quotes as shown. The command_string may include
# arguments.
#
# The command_string may be obtained from the value of
# a string variable. This is specified by using the variable
# label without quotes - see the 3rd example below for
# label my_string
#
# The command_string is not a computed expression. It may be
# entered only as a string variable without quotes or as a
# literal command string with or without arguments.
#
# The kill_option field is optional and defaults to NONE.
# The kill_option is used to specify whether or not the spawned
# process should be slayed and when.
#
# NONE process is never terminated by gp_test
#
# AT_START process is terminated at the start of a mode if it
# was spawned in the previous execution of the mode
#
# AT_END process is terminated when the mode is terminated
#
# AT_NT process is terminated when the current procedure is
# stopped and a new one is started by the "nt" command
# If the process terminates before the mode is executed
# again, a new copy will be spawned
#
#
# a maximum of 8 processes may be spawned
