Re: how to nohup on windows?

From unix/linux manpages:

nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty

cron - daemon to execute scheduled commands (ISC Cron V4.1)

The purposes of the commands are not mutually exclusive; you can place into cron a script which contains a nohup; on my experience, i use nohup:

• from command line prompt, when I need to close the session before the end of excution of the script
• in cron jobs scripts, when i need to collect all of its output, for example:

nohup my_script.sh > my_script.log 2>&1 &

There can be many other situations to use one, the other or bot, yet.
