Hi, Here's my 2 cents, for what it's worth : Are you sure the forking itself fails ? One issue that often appears with spawning process from Jenkins is that the child process might be killed once the job is finished.
You might find quite a few references on this issue on google https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Spawning+processes+from+build As far as I remember, one of the work around was to set a specific environment variable BUILD_ID before spawning the process, such as BUILD_ID=dontKillMe.
