There's no such feature and no workaround either. All startDetached() 
overloads are static, which means they don't take any extra configurations and 
there's no child-process function that you can execute.

I implemented the redirection code in 2006. As far as I remember, you're the 
first to want to redirect a detached process.

Other people have requested the ability to detach a process that is already 
started, but that simply can't be implemented. At best, we could implement a 
"disown" functionality.
