in reply to Running a process in the background

Since you are refering to the START command, I assume you are on windows. I believe that START /B will execute the command in the background.

For example:

start /b sleep 100

Course this isn't the perl answer...

"Look, Shiny Things!" is not a better business strategy than compatibility and reuse.

    Hi osunderdog,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried doing start /b. The process does run in the background, but the next command (next process) is not executed till the background process finishes.

    What else do you suggest? Thanks.
