Executing bat file and returning the prompt

Question

I have a problem with cruisecontrol where an ant scripts executes a bat file that doesn't give me the prompt back. As a result, the project in cruisecontrol keeps on bulding forever until I restart cruisecontrol. How can I resolve this?

It's a startup.bat from wowza (Streaming Server) that I'm executing:

@echo off

call setenv.bat

if not %WMSENVOK% == "true" goto end

set _WINDOWNAME="Wowza Media Server 2"
set _EXESERVER=
if "%1"=="newwindow" (
set _EXESERVER=start %_WINDOWNAME%
shift
)

set CLASSPATH="%WMSAPP_HOME%\bin\wms-bootstrap.jar"

rem cacls jmxremote.password /P username:R
rem cacls jmxremote.access /P username:R

From a first look it seems that adding a start command to the line where the server is started might help, i.e.:

start "" %_EXESERVER% "%_EXECJAVA%" %JAVA_OPTS% %JMXOPTIONS% 
-Dcom.wowza.wms.AppHome="%WMSAPP_HOME%" 
-Dcom.wowza.wms.ConfigURL="%WMSCONFIG_URL%" 
-Dcom.wowza.wms.ConfigHome="%WMSCONFIG_HOME%" 
-cp %CLASSPATH% com.wowza.wms.bootstrap.Bootstrap start
