Hi!

I just subscribed to the mailing list but we are using dirvish now for
over a year. We have quite a number of vaults, so I like dirvish-runall
to do parallel processing.

This is a simple patch to dirvish-runall that just runs the "real"
command in the background. It works for me.

-       $status = system($cmd);
+       $status = system($cmd . " &");
        $status < 0 || $status / 256 and ++$errors;

 }

This may put a little load on the backup server's filesystem, but I
think it's worth it as it decreases the time for the backup window
overall.
