Running another program in Windows bat file and not create child process

Question

I want the checkin finish soon, not wait the hook script. But by design, the Subversion post-commi

Answer 1

What you can do is create a Scheduled Task that executes the batch script or other executable that runs for a long time. Set it to run once, in the past and don't set it to delete the task when no more runs are scheduled. Then in your Subversion hook script, put the following line in:

schtasks /run /tn NameOfYourTaskHere

I confirmed with a test by having my scheduled task run Notepad++ and the Notepad++ executable showed up as a child of svchost.exe, not the cmd.exe window that I executed the schtasks command from.
