[mrtg] Re: RunAsDaemon on NT

[Tobias Oetiker]

Today you sent me mail regarding [mrtg] RunAsDaemon on NT:
JH> However doesn't return to a DOS prompt.  You can close the DOS window by
JH> clicking on X and choosing end task.  (Crtl C doesn't work.)  (The MRTG
JH> keeps running fine.)   A clean exit would be preferred.
JH> 
JH> Idea:  I typed the command in the Run box from the start menu and it worked
JH> fine.  It started clean in the background with no box!  Guess I fixed my own
JH> problem!

the problem is that cmd waits for its childern if they are not
started with 

start /b process 

this is documented in the mrtg NT guide BTW
