Problem

In bash: The ampersand lets you launch the first program, and then do another one while the first is still running. How do I do this in cmd? (XP if it's relevant).

Error Output

java -jar jarfile1.jar &

Fix for: What is cmd's equivalent to Bash's & (ampersand) for running a command without waiting for it to terminate?

Low Risk

start with the option Start application without creating a new window. The application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt the application
