Thank you for suggestion but it's an application server managed by non-UNIX 'mouse users' which may manually start the task, so it should be simple for them. It seems that not having an output window slows down the script dramatically on each 'echo'. As workaround I started the script with another bash (to access cygwin /dev/null) , it work just fine now but it's a bit ugly (bash forking bash...) so any better idea will be appreciated: Before: bash myscript Has been replaced by: bash -c "bash myscript >/dev/null </dev/null" I really don't know why 'echo' is behaving like this.
