+
+## spawn
+
+`tasks` provides `spawn` even in ruby 1.8.
+
+    require 'tasks'
+    include Tasks
+
+    pid = spawn './something.rb'
+    ...
+    system "kill #{pid}"
+
+`spawn` is like system with `'&'` and it also returns the procces id.
+
+## love_pact
+
+`tasks` supports a couple to do a love pact.
+
+    require 'tasks'
+    include Tasks
+
+    master_pid = spawn './master.rb'
+    slave_pid = spawn './slave.rb'
+
+    fork do
+      love_pact master_pid, slave_pid
+    end
+
+If a master died, the slave dies immediately.
+
+Note that now `love_pact` works only in UNIX.
