Hi there, I want to create a windows batch file, which can 1. initialize and start multiple Windows -- such as my gtalk and my MSN 2. keep the applications running 3. let the batch file itself exit without any trace. That is a bit difficult to achieve via normal windows batch file, since batch does not provide a background running mode, so the whole process will be blocked at the first application starts, and all the subsequent application will not get called before the first exits. And then I turned to Cygwin. Seems it could achieve task 1 and task 2. However, it could not achieve task 3, which means that the cygwin window will be kept open, until both (all) of the applications get closed. So I wonder whether there is any possibility, to achieve all the 3 tasks I want? And if yes, how?
Below is the batch file I've written, any comments are welcome.
