os.start() - doesn't exist?

[DennisDyallo]

In your section for the lua "os library" you say we can use os.start()
But I cant find anything about os.start() on the internet.

How can I fire and forget an executable from the remote?

The reason you can't find anything on the internet is because os.start() is a special function added by Unified Remote - it is not a standard Lua os function.

Yes, you can use it fire and forget. Have a look at this example:
