Depends in what you want to archive. Ada has build in support for threads
(called task in Ada and lightweight processes in unix) - so unless you want
to start "/bin/ls" or "/bin/sh" you might be better off using tasks instead
of processes.

If you still need processes then AdaCL [1] has the needed support.
