invoke fork command

Hi,
I have startup shell script called "xxxxx" for Jboss server which is taking more than expected timeline to complete the process, here I want to use the fork command to start the child process for non dependent component

I have a scheduler called "yyyy" which is currently getting invoked from startup script "xxxxx" , here i want this scheduler to be invoked from fork command, so that my startup process to be completed very fast without impacting my child.

I am looking for example how to start the fork command at the end of startup shell script "xxxxx"

here pid= fork(), i am not sure how to call "yyyy" ( scheduler) through fork() command

Please provide your thoughts...

fork is not a command it is a system call. not sure what your really looking for. can you post the startup script?

Code:
 mycommand -param1 -param2 &
