This is a followup to my questions on using the SYSMAN database for startup.

Has anyone tried using spawn/nowait in their startup?

I don't think it's a very good idea, since the spawned process could be killed
by the spawning process completing, and I don't see how it can be that much
less overhead than queuing such that it would make that much difference.  But 
my boss, who fancies himself to be a crack system manager, thinks it would be
a good approach.

What is the net-wisdom on this?

(btw, my boss reads news, so he'll see this :-)
